Title
Automatic detection of supraaortic branches and model-based segmentation of the aortic arch froM 3D CTA images
Abstract
Automated quantification of the morphology of the aortic arch is crucial for diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. We introduce a new approach for fully automatic segmentation and characterization of the aortic arch morphology for endovascular aortic repair. Supraaortic branches are detected based on an analysis of the connected components within a spherical volume around the vessel. Segmentation and quantification is based on a 3D parametric intensity model that is iteratively fitted to the image intensities and includes a fast and robust scheme for initialization. The performance of the approach has been evaluated using synthetic and real 3D CTA images.
