The present disclosure is directed to using patients imaging of a tubular structure to generate a series of maximum intensity projection views of segments of the tubular structure and assembling the views to provide a complete circumferential visualization of the tubular structure. Such views may be used to generate patient-specific models of flow within the tubular structure, predict medical events (e.g. cardiac, pulmonary, respiratory), including plaque rupture and/or myocardial infarction.
