Abstract

Provided is a system, method, and computer program product for segmenting vessels in an ultrasound image. The method includes detecting edges of a vessel in the ultrasound image; detecting a vessel contour of the vessel in the ultrasound image based on the detected edges and a distance regularized level set evolution; and tracking the vessel contour with a Kalman Filter.
