A vectorial representation of the vascular network that embodies quantitative features-location, direction, scale, and bifurcations-has many potential cardio- and neuro-vascular applications. We present VTrails, an end-to-end approach to extract geodesic vascular minimum spanning trees from angiographic data by solving a connectivity-optimized anisotropic level-set over a voxel-wise tensor field representing the orientation of the underlying vasculature. Evaluating real and synthetic vascular im ...[more]
