Automatic 3D Reconstruction of Carotid Vessels Based on Region Growing Method

Segmentation and 3D visualization of carotid vessels is an important part of the treatment of carotid stenosis conditions. In this paper, we propose a novel method for automatic 3D reconstruction of carotid vessels by combining the region growing algorithm and the marching cubes algorithm. The automatic segmentation and 3D reconstruction of carotid vessels can be achieved by only manually and interactively selecting a point in the target vessel in human CTA images. The experiments demonstrate that this method has good practicality, can reduce a large amount of manual intervention, and has the advantage of saving time and effort.
