W eobtain the 3D dyadic splinewaveletsby extending the corresponding 1D w avelet. A 3D steerable filter is then developed based on 3D dyadic splinew avelets, it can beadapted to an arbitrary direction. The oriented energy of filter response is introduced for detecting orientation strength of vessels in that direction. The pointsw ithmax mi um of localoriented energy acrossm ultiple scales are detected and then cerebral vessel tree can be ex tracted by smi ple thresholding. Thism ethod was tested on realMRA data and prom ising results have been obtained. It could be suitable for other types of curv ilinear structures such as cardiovascular vessels, bronchial tree.
