How Analyze was Used
“Segmentation was performed with AnalyzePro 1.0 (AnalyzeDirect, Overland Park, Kansas, USA), while a semi-automated approach using a region growth algorithm was used. For this purpose, seed areas were defined at different points in the vessels. Small perforator arteries were removed if the diameter was smaller than 0.1 mm. The segmented anatomy was converted into stereolithography (.stl) format. A rectangular box with a size of (36.5×13.1×22.2) mm3 was designed to enclose the target vessels of the anatomy and an adapter for the sample holder of the MPI scanner was attached to the model. Printing was performed on a stereolithography printer (Form2, Formlabs Inc.) using a 25 µm layer thickness and clear photopolymer resin (Formlabs Inc.).”
