CURVES: Vessel Segmentation System

This page shows results from our CURVES segmentation algorithm.

The first publication of this work will occur in the proceedings of the IPMI conference in June 1999 in Budapest, Hungary. The authors of the publication are Liana Lorigo, Olivier Faugeras, W.E.L. Grimson, Renaud Keriven, Ron Kikinis, and Carl-Fredrik Westin.

We regret that we cannot provide algorithm details at this time, due to "intellectual property" regulations.
