- Description
- The automated extraction of brain vessels from magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has found its applications in vascular disease diagnosis, endovascular operation and neurosurgical planning. In this paper we first present a concise technical review on cerebral vasculature extraction from MRA. It reveals the latest development in the area of vessel extraction. Then we detail the main challenges to the researchers working in the vessel extraction and segmentation area. Based on the review and our experience in the area, we finally present our proposals on ways of developing robust vessel extracting algorithm. Examples of brain vasculature extracted with advanced hybrid approach are shown. Twenty one references are given.
