TLDR
The usefulness of the method is demonstrated by the segmentation and visualization of brain vessels from magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography, bronchi from a chest CT, and liver vessels (portal veins) from an abdominal CT.About:

Design and Validation of a Tool for Neurite Tracing and Analysis in Fluorescence Microscopy Images
TL;DR: The design and validation of a semiautomatic neurite tracing technique for accurate and reproducible segmentation and quantification of neuronal processes are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study combined patient-derived and genetically engineered induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with tissue engineering to elucidate the pathophysiology underlying the cardiomyopathy of Barth syndrome, a mitochondrial disorder caused by mutation of the gene encoding tafazzin (TAZ).

A Computational Tool for Quantitative Analysis of Vascular Networks
TL;DR: A light-weight, user friendly software, AngioTool, which allows for quick, hands-off and reproducible quantification of vascular networks in microscopic images, and is validated using images of embryonic murine hindbrains, post-natal retinas and allantois explants.

The Laplacian Pyramid as a Compact Image Code
Peter J. Burt,Edward H. Adelson +1 more
TL;DR: A technique for image encoding in which local operators of many scales but identical shape serve as the basis functions, which tends to enhance salient image features and is well suited for many image analysis tasks as well as for image compression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Display of surfaces from volume data
TL;DR: In this article, a volume-rendering technique for the display of surfaces from sampled scalar functions of 3D spatial dimensions is discussed, which is not necessary to fit geometric primitives to the sampled data; images are formed by directly shading each sample and projecting it onto the picture plane.

Fast volume rendering using a shear-warp factorization of the viewing transformation
Philippe Lacroute,Marc Levoy +1 more
TL;DR: A new object-order rendering algorithm based on the factorization of a shear-warp factorization for perspective viewing transformations is described that is significantly faster than published algorithms with minimal loss of image quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Edge Detection and Ridge Detection with Automatic Scale Selection
TL;DR: A mechanism is presented for automatic selection of scale levels when detecting one-dimensional image features, such as edges and ridges, with characteristic property that the selected scales on a scale-space ridge instead reflect the width of the ridge.
