A novel procedure for medial axis reconstruction of vessels from Medical Imaging segmentation.

This system of vessels is representative of a structure made up of roughly tubular elements, branching out along different spatial orientations with different degrees of curvature and tortuosity and the size of the vessels almost comparable with that of the voxels and represents an extremely significant test since it contains all the critical elements (direction, size, curvature, branches) on which existing methods of skeletonization of discrete models have shown not to perform well [ 37 ].
