How Analyze was Used
“3D volume datasets were post-processed on a workstation with Analyze 12.0 (AnalyzeDirect, Inc., KS, USA). Image post-processing and segmentation was based on CT number thresholding technique, with scan-related artifacts and soft tissues being removed in 2D axial and 3D reconstructed images. The purpose of image segmentation was to generate 3D surface models which consist of left main stem coronary artery, LAD and LCx and its main side branches.”
