viii mentierung von Blutgefäßbäumen (Lebergefäße, Koronararterien) und Bronchialbäumen entwickelt. Die Methoden werden auf klinischen Datensätzen evaluiert und mit den Resultaten anderer anerkannter Methoden verglichen. Die Resultate zeigen erfolgreich die Vorteile und Stärken der präsentierten Methoden und unterstreichen die Robustheit die mit dem skizzierten drei-schrittigen Lösungsansatz erzielt wird. Schlagwörter. medizinische Bildanalyse, Segmentierung tubulärer baumartiger Strukturen, Gefäßsementierung, Bronchialsegmentierung, Gefäßbaumseparierung, Lebergefäßsegmentierung, Koronararteriensegmentierung
Acknowledgements I am deeply grateful for the support and encouragement I received from several people throughout all the years I have been working towards my PhD degree. Without their help this work would not have been possible. Here, I finally have the opportunity to thank all these people. First of all, I want to express my gratitude to my supervisors Horst Bischof and Reinhard Beichel. They awakened my interest in medical image analysis, encouraged me in my research, provided the necessary scientific supervision, and were always available as competent discussion partners. They also enabled an eight month research stay at the University of Iowa where I had the chance to learn a lot professionally, but also about life in general. I appreciate the good cooperation with all my fellows at the Institute for Computer Graphics and Vision but special thanks for several fruitful discussions go to Tom, Martin, Werner, Rene, Alex, Denis, Bernhard, Judith, and Christian. For providing datasets, medical knowledge, and supporting evaluations I want to thank Erich Sorantin, Georgios Sarkas, and the organizers of the workshops on “Extraction of Airways from CT” and “Coronary Artery Tracking”. Financially, this work was supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under Grants P14897-N04, P17066-N04, and the doctoral program “Confluence of Vision and Graphics W1209” and the Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation. Last but not least, I want to thank my family and my friends. They gave me the mental background necessary to pursue a PhD program. Especially my parents supported me throughout all my studies and encouraged me in working towards a PhD degree. For some distraction and helping me to relax in the evenings I thank my friends Markus, Wolfgang, Angela, and Johannes and – since my stay in Iowa – Simon, Willy, Monika, Karl, and Tim. Finally, I want to express my deep gratitude towards my girlfriend Shuo for her love and her contagious positive attitude towards life. ix
