This paper describes a new method to segment vascular structures in 3D MRA data, based on the Wavefront Propagation algorithm. The center lumen line and the vessel boundary are detected automatically. Our 3D visualization and interaction platform will be prestended, which is used to aid the phycisian in the analysis of the MRA data. The results are compared to conventional X-ray DSA which is considered the current gold-standard. Provided that the diameter of the vessel is larger than 3 voxels, our method has similar result as X-ray DSA. © Springer-Verlag 2002.
