I worked in several projects related to the reconstructions of vessels (and other organs) from CT (and MRI) images. I developed in this case software using interactively different methods of segmentation: active surfaces, active contours, combined with user interaction. We investigated the use of texture analysis to recognize different tissues in CT images.

We also developed a Web based measurement tool based on reconstructed models, validated during the European project AQUATICS ().
