VESCL: an open source 2D vessel contouring library.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

VESCL (pronounced 'vessel') is a novel vessel contouring library for computer-assisted 2D vessel contouring and segmentation. VESCL facilitates manual vessel segmentation in 2D medical images to generate gold-standard datasets for training, testing, and validating automatic vessel segmentation.

Methods

VESCL is an open-source C++ library designed for easy integration into medical image processing systems. VESCL provides an intuitive interface for drawing variable-width parametric curves along vessels in 2D images. It includes highly optimized localized filtering to automatically fit drawn curves to the nearest vessel centerline and automatically determine the varying vessel width along each curve. To support a variety of segmentation paradigms, VESCL can export multi
