An accurate analysis of the spatial distribution of blood flow in any organ must be based on
detailed morphometry (diameters, lengths, vessel numbers, and branching pattern) of the
organ vasculature. Despite the significance of detailed morphometric data, there is relative
scarcity of data on 3D vascular anatomy. One of the major reasons is that the process of
morphometric data collection is labor intensive. The objective of this study is to validate a
novel segmentation algorithm for semi-automation of morphometric data extraction. The …
