| Abstract | Manual path definition for guiding virtual endoscopy is a very tedious task for human operators. In this paper we present a 3D path tracking routine to build trajectories inside tubular anatomical objects with minimal user interaction. The algorithm determines the ”shortest” path between two user indicated points (start and end points). This method, based on the level-set formalism, efficiently solves the shortest path problem using the so-called “fast-marching” algorithm. The method is illustrated for colon and blood vessel tracking. |
