Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for segmentation of blood vessels.SOLUTION: The method comprises acquiring a plurality of images representing axial slices through a region of interest, defining a fascia layer between a muscular region and a subcutaneous region by defining a boundary between high intensity images and low intensity images, and determining a landmark of a blood vessel. A subcutaneous path between the landmark of the blood vessel and the fascia layer and an intramuscular path between the fascia layer and a landmark are calculated.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
