In this paper, we propose a new segmentation method for brain blood vessels of MR angiograms. This method consists of the following processes: create three (x,y,z-axis) MIPs, perform region growing on each MIP, and integrate these results in a 3D space. Applying this method, which has both features of MIP and region growing, we can extract 3D blood vessels with accuracy and reliability.
