Abstract :
Prior to the liver transplantation and tumor resection operations, the extraction of the vessel system which specifies the segments of the liver, from the Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) images is an important organ segmentation task. In this paper, the computer experiment results on the application of the Hessian based vessel filter for the extraction of the liver vessels and the labeling of the main vessels are presented.
