<br>I found however that the larger vessels were left hollow. In order to fill in the larger vessels I ran the same filter again with a larger sigma and then sum the results at the two scales. I am wondering if this is a recommended way to fill in the vessels? I need the filled vessels in order to find the vessel centerlines in order to eventually calculate the vessel diameter. <br>

This example may be useful [1].<br>
<br>
TubeTK [2] also has nice vessel extraction algorithms that results in<br>
an itk::VesselTubeSpatialObject [3] datastructure that has a radius at<br>
points along the vessel.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

&gt; Dear ITK Users,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I am would like to use the Hessian filter in ITK for two purposes, the first<br>
&gt; is as a feature for vessel classification and the second is to estimate the<br>
&gt; diameter of vessels after they have been segmented from the image.<br>
&gt; (<a href="http://www.itk.org/pipermail/insight-users/2006-January/016325.html" target="_blank">http://www.itk.org/pipermail/insight-users/2006-January/016325.html</a>)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I am currently looking for examples for how to use this filter however I am<br>
&gt; only finding examples from 2007. I am wondering if there are more up to date<br>
&gt; examples?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Best Regards,<br>
&gt; Jesse<br>
