Vessel segmentation from phase-contrast microtomography with 4.94 µm voxel size. (A) Phase-contrast microtomography from sample 1. The yellow rectangle indicates the selected region covering the posterior midbrain. (Scale bar = 3 mm) (B) Result of applying Deriche-Canny edge detection on the selected region. Here, we present a maximum intensity projection of the edge detection result over 0.3 mm in Z direction for better visualization. (C) Mask used to identify the tissue (Scale bar = 1.5 mm). (D) Vessel segmentation result from the region with a 1.5 mm depth along the rostro-caudal direction.
