1. A method for automatic detection of obstructions in vasculature in an anatomical region, the method comprising:

  • partitioning the anatomical region into a plurality of sub-regions based at least in part on anatomical knowledge;

    adaptively computing a threshold intensity value corresponding to each of the plurality of sub-regions;

    extracting the vasculature in each of the plurality of sub-regions based on the corresponding computed threshold intensity value, wherein the extracted vasculature comprises a plurality of vessel segments; and

    detecting an obstruction in the extracted vasculature.
