GCoro
GCoro is a software I have developed while an internship at INRIA in the ChiR project in summer 2000.
GCoro allows to trace arteries from free breathing angiograms (a combination of the cardiac contractions and respiratory motions of the heart). Once the same arteries are traced (and identified) on at least two images, GCoro reconstructs a 4D (3D+time) coronary tree model.
Gcoro enables the user to segment artery centerlines on an image, while being constrained by the multiscale response map. The constraint is performed during the tracing, thus the user has just to roughly follow the artery with his mouse on the picture while GCoro perfectly aligns the trace on the artery.
GCoro was developed using GTK+ 1.2 as graphical toolkit and Gnu Emacs as editor.
Gcoro has been used by Guy Shechter for his Ph.D. thesis “Respiratory Motion of the Heart: Implications for Magnetic Resonance Coronary Angiography”
