Abstract
1) Objectives: This technical report presents a synthetic summary and the principal outcomes of the project R-Vessel-X (“Robust vascular network extraction and understanding within hepatic biomedical images”) funded by the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche, and developed between 2019 and 2023. 2) Material and methods: We used datasets and tools publicly available such as IRCAD, Bullitt or VascuSynth to obtain real or synthetic angiographic images. The main contributions lie in the field of 3D angiographic image analysis: filtering, segmentation, modeling and simulation, with a specific focus on the liver. 3) Results: We paid a particular attention to open-source software diffusion of the developed methods, by means of 3D Slicer plugins for the liver anatomy segmentation (SlicerRVXLiverSegmentation) and vesselness filtering (SlicerRVXVesselnessFilters), and an online demo for the generation of synthetic and realistic vessels in 2D and 3D (OpenCCO). 4) Conclusion: The R-Vessel-X project provided extensive research outcomes, covering various topics related to 3D angiographic image analysis, such as filtering, segmentation, modeling and simulation. We also developed open-source and free softwares so that the research communities in biomedical engineering can use these results in their future research.
期刊介绍:
IRBM is the journal of the AGBM (Alliance for engineering in Biology an Medicine / Alliance pour le génie biologique et médical) and the SFGBM (BioMedical Engineering French Society / Société française de génie biologique médical) and the AFIB (French Association of Biomedical Engineers / Association française des ingénieurs biomédicaux).
As a vehicle of information and knowledge in the field of biomedical technologies, IRBM is devoted to fundamental as well as clinical research. Biomedical engineering and use of new technologies are the cornerstones of IRBM, providing authors and users with the latest information. Its six issues per year propose reviews (state-of-the-art and current knowledge), original articles directed at fundamental research and articles focusing on biomedical engineering. All articles are submitted to peer reviewers acting as guarantors for IRBM''s scientific and medical content. The field covered by IRBM includes all the discipline of Biomedical engineering. Thereby, the type of papers published include those that cover the technological and methodological development in:
-Physiological and Biological Signal processing (EEG, MEG, ECG…)-
Medical Image processing-
Biomechanics-
Biomaterials-
