APPARATUS FOR TRACING VESSEL AND TRACING METHOD OF THE SAME OF

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vessel tracing device capable of tracing a vessel in a three-dimensional body image produced by a computer tomography device even if there is an obstacle such as a plaque in the vessel, and a vessel tracing method thereof. The present invention relates to the vessel tracing device. The vessel tracing device according to the present invention comprises: an image input unit to receive the three-dimensional body image produced by the computer tomography device; and a control unit to trace the vessel in the three-dimensional body image inputted in the image input unit by using a cylindrical vessel brightness model and a vessel tracing start point inputted in the input unit and to detect a branched start point of the vessel branched from the traced vessel.
