[Insight-users] Re: segmentation problems in ITK

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Vijay,

Level Sets are not appropriate for segmenting tubular structures,
with the exception of the CurvesLevelSet Method:

http://www.itk.org/Insight/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1CurvesLevelSetImageFilter.html


You probably should have tried the Curve3DExtractor application
that is based on the use of the Hessian filter.

     http://www.itk.org/HTML/Curve3DExtraction.htm


You will find this application in

       InsightApplications/
            Curves3DExtractor/


   Regards,


       Luis
