Abstract:
A method for identifying a arteries and veins in a medical image is provided. A start point and endpoints of branches of a segmented tubular tree are identified. Distance maps for each of the endpoints relative to the startpoint are created. Then voxels in between the furthest of the endpoints and the startpoint are identified. This last step is iterated for the subsequent furthest of the endpoints. For each set of identified voxels parameters are identified. Examples of such parameters are cross sectional areas of the branches. The parameters for at least one each set of identified voxels are then used to anatomically label branches the segmented tubular tree, optionally with position information obtained from the image.
