Abstract
In this paper we propose a mean-shift based technique for a precise tracking and segmentation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) from computed tomography (CT) angiography images. Output data from the proposed method can be used for measurement of aortic shape and dimensions. Knowledge of aortic shape and size is very important for selection of appropriate stent graft device for treatment of AAA. Comparing to conventional approaches, our method is very efficient and can save a lot of manual labors.
