We present an approach to the tree representation of a tubular objects network. The full-3D tracking algorithm for a single structure is detailed. Detection of bifurcations by a connectivity approach is then exposed. We show subvoxel accuracy and reliable orientation estimation for the tracking process on synthetic images. Bifurcations are also well detected on a complex synthetic image. Finally, applications of this method on real 3D medical images are shown. The method is particularly suited for processing Magnetic Resonance Angiography of the brain and neck.
Index Terms:
