    3D MR coronary artery segmentation
    (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 1998) Cline, HE; Thedens, DR; Irarrazaval, P; Meyer, CH; Hu, BS; Nishimura, DG; Ludke, S
    Coronary arteries are segmented from the blood pool using mathematical morphology operations from a 3D magnetic resonance spiral acquisition on a continuously breathing healthy volunteer. The segmented volume is maximal intensity projected at different views to yield coronary angiograms showing the left anterior descending artery (LAD), right coronary artery (RCA), and left circumflex artery (LCX), Magnetic resonance coronary angiography provides a retrospective rotating view of the coronary artery tree that complements oblique reformatted sections.
