    Abstract: A method for segmentation of blood vessels is disclosed. The method comprises acquiring a plurality of images representing axial slices through a region of interest, defining a fascia layer between a muscular region and a subcutaneous region by defining a boundary between high intensity images and low intensity images, and determining a landmark of the blood vessel. A subcutaneous path between the landmark of the blood vessel and the fascia layer and an intramuscular path between the fascia layer and a landmark is calculated.
