Virtual Contrast for Coronary Vessels Based on Level Set Generated Subvoxel Accurate Centerlines

We present a tool for tracking coronary vessels in MRI scans of the human heart to aid in the screening of heart diseases. The vessels are identified through a single click inside each vessel present in a standard orthogonal view. The vessel identification results from a series of computational step...
