Abstract
A medical imaging system for processing an original medical image is provided. The system includes a seed generator for receiving the original medical image representing an original blood vessel and to generate coarse seeds on a basis of vesselness feature in respect to every pixel of the original blood vessel represented by the medical image, and a seed processor for receiving the coarse seeds and for processing the coarse seeds to select a set of refined seeds on a basis of the regression profile for each of the coarse seed by using random forest classification, such that the set of refined seeds are selected from the coarse seeds such that the set of refined seeds adapted to lie on a corrected blood vessel.
