Abstract

Computational studies of aortic hemodynamics require accurate and reproducible segmentation of the aortic tree from whole body, contrast enhanced CT images. Three methods were vetted for segmentation. A semi-automated approach that utilizes denoising, the extended maxima transform, and a minimal amount of manual segmentation was adopted.
