Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method that determines a contour of a model vessel representing a branching structure, wherein the structure contains a branch point at which an upper segment of the structure splits into a first lower segment and a second lower segment, and determines a path of a first model vessel representative of at least part of the upper segment and at least part of the first lower segment, determines a path of a second model vessel, representative of at least part of the upper segment and at least part of the second lower segment, determines the position of a contour branch point; and ensures that for at least one position above the contour branch point a contour of the first model vessel is substantially the same as a contour of the second model vessel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus for determining a contour of a model vessel representing a branching structure, wherein the structure comprises a branch point at which an upper segment of the structure splits into a first lower segment and a second lower segment, the apparatus comprising: a processing circuit configured to determine a path of a first model vessel representative of at least part of the upper segment and at least part of the first lower segment, determi…
