Automatic Coronary Centerline Extraction Using Gradient Vector Flow Field and Fast Marching Method From CT Images

In current medical imaging, coronary artery stenosis quantification requires fast and accurate coronary centerline computation. This paper develops a new framework for extracting coronary centerlines from 3-D segmented coronary arteries models. The approach utilizes the gradient vector flow (GVF) fi...
