2D Fast Vessel Visualization Using a Vessel Wall Mask Guiding Fine Vessel Detection by Sotirios Raptis, Dimitris Koutsouris

“…Major benefits are limiting the range of parameters, reducing the search-space for post-convolution to only masked regions, representing almost 2% of the 2D volume, good speed versus accuracy/time trade-off. Results show the potentials of our approach in terms of time for detection ROC analysis and accuracy of vessel pixel (VP) detection.…”
