A method and apparatus for selecting one or more diagnostic images to generate a physiological model are provided in which a set of candidate images is determined for review by a user, in particular by a physician. The candidate images are hereby determined using one or more target measures, such as a density measure, a motion measure, a deviation measure or the like, that have been derived for each diagnostic image of an X-ray angiography series and by analyzing said target measure. Subsequently, a suitability score that is based on the requirements of the physiological model that shall be generated from the selected candidate images is assigned to each candidate image
