Clip vessel surface with user input centerlines

Vessel Clipper

Clip vessel surface with user input centerlines. This repository is a GUI version of the Vessel Centerline Extraction. Extra functions like surface clipping, domain defining are also included for CFD and morphological analysis purposes.

Features

• Centerline and geometry calculation
• Clip user input vessel surfaces (.VTK, .VTP, .STL) with pre-defined centerline file (.VTP, .VTK).
• Clipped surface enclosing (capping)
• Output domain for CFD region definitions

Example Usages

• Centerline Calculation
• Surface Clipping
• Boundary Extension
• Domain Define for CFD simulation

Pre-build binary

Build from Source

Toolchain dependency:

• MSVC 2015 Update 3(Windows)
• CMake 3.11 or above
• Qt 5.9 or above
• VTK 8.0 (VTK 7.0 cannot save capped STL surface properly)
• ITK
• VMTK
• nlohmann_json(if CMake version below 3.11)

1. Complete CMake Medical Imaging Toolchain for Windows (MSVC2015).
2. nlohmann_json will be automatically fetched if CMake version is >= 3.11. Older CMake version need to use pre-built toolchain, check usage in official repo.

Known issue

• nlohmann_json is picky with C++ compilers. For MSVC 2015 users, make sure version is using Update 3.

To-do List

• Add cylindrical clipper
• Boundary extension
