Cerebrovascular Network Registration via An Efficient Attributed Graph Matching Technique

Tubular networks are one of the fundamental structures in biological and medical studies. They are found for example in skeletal structures, nerve fibers, and systems for propagating gases such as intrathoracic airway trees and vascular networks. Among these networks, cerebrovascular networks in particular are the target of major neurobiological and neuroscientific studies (Amin-Hanjani et  al., 2015; Agostoni and Longoni, 2015). To assess the state of a disease during diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment processes, it is crucial to match these networks in different images (Metzen et al., 2009).
