Abstract. An accurate segmentation of vascular systems is fundamental for many medical applications. Stability against different contrast levels and noise are very important. In this paper we propose an approach for the segmentation of the vascular system of the liver. It is based on the gradient vector flow (GVF) and Frangis vesselness measure. This method avoids multi-scale analysis and related scale space problems. It was evaluated on ten CT data-sets.
