| Guidelines |
| Student should read selected sources about vessel segmentation from volume data and visualization in general. Curved planar Reformation (CPR) method will be used as base for further improvements of vessel visualization.
Study of blood vessel calcification would profit from clear and illustrative vessel profile visualization. There are many problems to solve in this project, mainly duct tracking itself, converting the data from 3D volume to 2D plane more suitable for human observers and visualization of the profile able to emphasize the calcifications. Main goal of the thesis is to analyze these problems and design algorithms usable for vessel visualization focused on calcification detection. Software should be well documented (both user and internal documentation). Emphasis should be placed on thorough description of used algorithms (including mathematics) and data structures. |
