Visualizations of vesselness for lamb MR angiography. The left image shows the raw data (in greyscale) colored with the Hessian coefficient (in red) being used with our modified volume rendering pipeline. Even though the Hessian technique can identify vessels, it cannot identify branch points as can be seen by the grey regions in the front vessel. The right image shows our polar profile-based vesselness which identifies the vessels as well as the branch points.
