In this paper, we present an automatic method for extracting center axis representations (centerlines) of coronary arteries in contrast enhanced (CE)-CT angiography scans. The algorithm first detects the aorta which is used as an initial mask for ostia detection~cite{grady2006:fast}. Second, the ostia locations are detected via a vessel centerline extraction method~cite{Gulsun:Tek:008} which tracks the center axis of the coronaries starting from the aorta surface. The full centerline tree of the coronary arteries are computed via the multi-scale medialness-based vessel tree extraction algorithm which starts a tracking process from the ostia locations until all the braches are reached. The centerline extraction algorithm is a graph-based optimization algorithm using multi-scale medialness filters.

The intestine is an important organ of the human body, and its internal structure always needs to be observed in clinical applications so as to provide a basis for accurate diagnosis. However, due to the limited intestinal data obtained by a single institution, deep learning cannot effectively train the intestines, and the effect is not satisfied. For this reason, we propose a distributed training method to carry out federated learning to alleviate the situation of patient sample data shortage, not shared and uneven data distribution. And the blockchain is introduced to enhance the interaction between networks, to solve the problem of a single point of failure of the federated learning server. Fully excavate the multiscale features of samples, to construct a fusion enhancement model and intestinal segmentation module for accurate positioning. At the local end, the centerline extraction algorithm is optimized, with the edge as the main and the source as the auxiliary to realize centerline extraction.
