Biological tree-like structures, such as mammalian tracheobronchial airways, are complicated branching systems. One problem in modeling such systems is the reassignment of the number of segments at a given generation in the model being constructed. A hypothesis is proposed which has successfully been...
Many diagnostic problems involve the assessment of vascular structures or bronchial trees depicted in volumetric datasets, but previous algorithms for segmenting cylindrical structures are not sufficiently robust for them to be widely applied clinically. Local geometric information that is of importance in ...
The patient is positioned on an operating table, a bronchoscope is inserted into the bronchial tree and directed towards the mass. Once the tip of the bronchoscope is placed in contact with the mass, as validated by direct viewing of the mass in the bronchoscope image, a forceps is pushed ...
Numerical simulations of the cardiovascular system are growing in popularity due to the increasing availability of computational power, and their proven co
Accurate segmentation of anatomical structures in medical images is a critical step in the development of computer assisted intervention systems. However, complex image conditions, such as intensity inhomogeneity, noise and weak object boundary, often ca
Vascular or bronchial complexes may be imaged by volumetric techniques such as CT and magnetic resonance (MR). Recovery of these structures facilitates surgical path planning, quantification of prosthetic stent dimensions, and the detection of aneurysms, stenoses and tumors. A proposed method segments...

We designed a two pass algorithm to compute the central axis tree of bronchial tree structures. In the first pass, the topological branching tree structure T is obtained by using a top-down region growing algorithm on the tree volume. In the second pass, T is used to region grow bottom-...
Several structures of human body follow the topology of a tree or a network. Characteristic examples are the blood vessel network, the bronchial tree, the neuron system, and the breast ductal tree. The analysis of these structures is based on the identification and the quantification of ...
