摘要:
Method for quantitative flow analysis of a tree of conduits perfusing an organ from at least two bi-dimensional images, the method comprising the following steps: a) making a 3D reconstruction of at least part of the tree from said at least two bi-dimensional images; b) identifying a segment of interest within the 3D reconstruction either automatically or semi-automatically upon user input; c) making calculations based on the 3D reconstruction to determine geometrical features of the conduits such as diameters, lengths, curvatures, centrelines or the like; d) receiving indication from the user to input a multi-scale functional model of the tree to be considered for the flow analysis and to input the location of the segment of interest within such model; e) adjusting the part of the functional model related to the segment of interest using geometrical features of the 3D reconstruction; f) performing quantitative flow analysis based on the functional model so obtained. A corresponding apparatus and computer program are also disclosed.
