ABSTRACT:
A method of extracting computer graphical objects including at least one vessel structure from a data volume of a portion of an anatomy, the method comprising the steps of: utilizing knowledge based image processing to locate centerlines and utilizing an active surface technique to extract the outer surface of said vessel structure; and storing co-ordinate information of said outer surface for subsequent display.
