White and black blood volumetric angiographic filtering ellipsoidal scale-space approach.

Prefiltering is a critical step in three-dimensional (3D) segmentation of a blood vessel and its display. This paper presents a scale-space approach for filtering white blood and black blood angiographic volumes and its implementation issues. The raw MR angiographic volume is first converted to isot...
