Threshold segmentation algorithm for automatic extraction of cerebral vessels from brain magnetic resonance angiography images

•A novel segmentation algorithm is proposed to extract cerebral vessels from brain magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) images.•The vessel segmentation algorithm is fast and fully automatic.•The performance of the threshold segmentation is acceptable.•The segmentation method may be used for three-di...
