Illustration of ostia detection step. Two voxels with the maxima vesselness responses, O L and O R, are detected to be the ostia of the left and right coronary trees respectively. The angular search regions for the left and right ostium are θ L ∈ [−90, 45] and θ R ∈ (45, 135] respectively. θ = 90° indicates the anterior side of the patient
