Automatic segmentation of arterial tree from 3D computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) scans

Pulmonary embolism (PE) and other pulmonary vascular diseases, have been found associated with the changes in arterial morphology. To detect arterial changes, we propose a novel, fully automatic method that can extract pulmonary arterial tree in computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) imag...
