Abstract :
Micro-tomography produces high resolution images of biological structures such as vascular networks. In this paper, we present a new approach for segmenting vascular network into pathological and normal regions from considering their micro-vessel 3D structure only. We define and use a conditional random field for segmenting the output of a watershed algorithm. The tumoral and normal classes are thus characterized by their respective distribution of watershed region size interpreted as local vascular territories. |
