Segmentation of vessels using threshold in Matlab GUI


The data is 3D TOF MRA image for carotid vessel. In TOF method, vessels are much brighter than other tissue, so using a thresholding method is enough to perform segmentation.

For a more convenient way to choose an appropriate threshold value and cropping region, a Matlab GUI is designed to select value with slider and on-picture clicking. Move the slider on the left, then thresholding result is displayed on the right. Click on the right picture twice to determine the left-top and right-bottom value for cropping.

To remove other small obstacles in the 3D picture, connectivity of 3D region is used to label parts in the image. If the part is below a certain minimum voxel, it is removed.

Output image stack and view picture in ImageJ.
