Can your framework process the 2D vessel graph?

Hi, can your framework process the 2D vessel graph?

Hi @jqmcginnis , thanks a lot for your detailed response to my question. I'm looking for some research about how to represent the vessel tree using a graph, such as the coronary artery in 2D angiography. Could you please point out some research you know of? Thanks a lot again!

Hi @ZDstandup,

I discussed the matter with @jocpae and there might be multiple interesting things for you to check:

1) If you reshape your current segmentation (NxM) to (NxMx1) you could use our existing graph extraction algorithm by Drees et.al. and check if this new representation is insightful for you. For this, you can use the Voreen Tool from University of Münster or look at the repository we used for the generation of our dataset c.f. CustomRepo.

2) If you would like to look into 2D graph generation, perhaps the following papers and research is helpful:

• Chapman, Brian E., Holly P. Berty, and Stuart L. Schulthies. "Automated generation of directed graphs from vascular segmentations." Journal of biomedical informatics 56 (2015): 395-405.

• Aanjaneya, Mridul, et al. "Metric graph reconstruction from noisy data." Proceedings of the twenty-seventh annual symposium on Computational geometry. 2011.

• Check these implementations on github:

  2. Chapman et al.

Hi, @jqmcginnis

Wow, your response helps me a lot. Many thanks for your kind response. Thank jocpae, too.
