Just for future reference, extraction of selected branches is now implemented:

> We added a completely new module that makes vessel (or airway or any other tree structure) centerline extraction much faster, flexible, and robust. It can quickly extract a network, determine branch endpoints automatically, allows editing of endpoints, computing centerlines, branches, and quantitative metrics (radius, curvature, torsion, etc). The new “Extract Centerline” module is available in SlicerVMTK extension for latest Slicer-4.11 release (it replaces the old “Centerline Computation” modu…
