Abstract
A framework for isolating an aneurysm and parent vessel in volumetric image data is provided herein. In accordance with one aspect, the framework generates a refined mask by performing region growing starting at an aneurysm dome point to eliminate vessels that are indirectly connected to an aneurysm or parent vessel in volumetric image data. A final mask may be generated based at least in part on the refined mask by eliminating any kissing vessel connected with the aneurysm from the refined mask. The final mask may then be used for segmentation of the aneurysm and the parent vessel in the volumetric image data.
