Corresponding author : WA NG Shengjun, Email: wangshengjun @ neusoft. com) Abstract: To sol e the problem of improper centerline extraction due to the improper segmentation of coronary arteries and ob iously changed essel cur ature, an algorithm based on tubular structure w as proposed for the automatic centerline extraction of coronary arteries. The coronary artery centerline w as extracted roughly on the basis of the configuration of the skeleton nodes, and then the criteria w ere proposed for the three kinds of blood essel structures according to the tubular structure of coronary so as to detect the actualities of the improper segmentation of coronary arteries. As a result, the disconnected centerline w as regulated and joined on the basis of local ascular structure, t
