Simulation of MR angiography imaging for validation of cerebral arteries segmentation algorithms

• Introduction of a framework for quantitative and observer-independent validation of vessel segmentation in the MRA images• Demonstration of a practical application of a custom-designed magnetic resonance angiography simulator as a reliable tool for quantitative validation of vessel segmentatio n algorithms that provides objective and reproducible results.• Development of a realistic digital phantom of an intracranial arterial tree based on a real Time-of-Flight data set.• Performing thorough validation of a level-set vessel segmentation algorithm implemented in the Vascular Modeling T oolkit (VMTK), an open-source software library.
