Abstract

A network model is introduced that allows the extraction of the topological structure of a set of input vectors corresponding to image voxels from a 3D doppler or contrast enhanced ultrasound. This extraction is a precondition for many medical image registration algorithms. Results on artificial and real ultrasound image data sets are discussed.
