Title: Vessel Enhancing Diffusion Filter
Author(s): Enquobahrie, Andinet; Ibanez, Luis; Bullitt, Elizabeth; Aylward, Stephen
Abstract: 
This paper describes vessel enhancing diffusion (VED) filters implemented 
using the Insight Toolkit (ITK). The filters are implementation of the 
VED algorithm developed by Manniesing et al .  The VED algorithm follows a  
multiscale approach to enhance vessels using anisotropic diffusion scheme guided 
by vesselness measure at a pixel level.   Vesselness is determined by geometrical 
analysis of the Eigen system of the Hessian matrix. For this purpose, a smoothed version of the Frangi's 
vesselness function is formulated. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance
of the VED filters in enhancing vessels in lung CT scan.
