Dear, Luca

I have a question regarding the use of vmtkcenterlines in the presence of an 
aneurysm.

Is it true that if more than 3/4 of the original artery is present, 
vmtkcenterlines will give a correct centerline, without aneurysm removal?

Just by selecting the source point in the arterial source and a target point in 
the arterial end, while ignoring the aneurysm.

This I thought is the result of the maximum inscribed sphere being confined to 
the original artery's diameter.

is this true?

I am not sure I am clear, but what I am trying to get is the true centerline 
(prior to aneurysm development) without aneurysm removal. (This is since you 
wrote: 
"Nevertheless, while the parent artery reconstructions are plausible, it remains
to be proven that they are faithful representations of the pre-aneurysmal 
artery."
in:
Ford et al, An objective approach to digital removal of saccular aneurysm: 
techniques and applications. BJR, 2009, ss55-61) 




If I am not clear, please tell me and I will create an image, to show what I 
mean.

Thanks

Haim
