GCoro

Gcoro is a software I have developed while an internship at INRIA in the ChiR project in July/August 2000.

Gcoro enables the user to segment artery centerlines on an image, while being constrained by the multiscale response map. In other words, it allows the user to trace artery from free breathing angiograms (a combination of the cardiac contraction and respiratory motion of the heart). By tracing (and identifying) the same arteries on, at least, two images the software allows to reconstruct a 4D (3D+time) coronary tree model.

Gcoro has been used by Guy Shechter for his PhD thesis "Respiratory Motion of the Heart: Implications for Magnetic Resonance Coronary Angiography"
