ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a system for performing fast segmentation and image processing for enhanced three dimensional (3-D) visualization of a subject. The present invention automatically extracts unwanted dominant features from images while preserving the desired information. The present invention works especially well with Computed Tomography Angiograms (CTA) for viewing vasculature of a subject's head. Segmenting and removing dominant structures from image data permits visualization techniques such as maximum intensity projection (MIP), surface rendering and volume rendering, to provide enhanced vessel visualization.
