             abstract = "Nowadays, medical diagnostics using images has a considerable 
                         importance in many areas of medicine. It promotes and makes easier 
                         the acquisition, transmission and analysis of medical images. The 
                         use of digital images for diseases evaluations or diagnostics is 
                         still growing up and new application modalities are always 
                         appearing. This paper presents a methodology for a semi-automatic 
                         segmentation of the coronary artery tree in 2D X-Ray 
                         angiographies. It combines a region growing algorithm and a 
                         differential geometry approach. The proposed segmentation method 
                         identifies about 90% of the main coronary artery tree.",
