VESNA: an open-source tool for automated 3D vessel segmentation and network analysis

With its ability to process large amounts of 3D image data and its flexibility across experimental conditions, VESNA fulfills previously unmet needs in image processing of vascular structures and can be a valuable tool for a variety of experimental setups around three-dimensional vasculature, such as drug screening, research in tissue development and disease mechanisms.
