A method for assessing blood vessel stenosis using image data of a subject is disclosed. The image data represents a vascular structure of the subject. The method comprises: (a) segmenting, from the image data, a vessel segment representing a segment of a blood vessel, (b) obtaining, using the image data, a plurality of two-dimensional images of the vessel segment said plurality of two-dimensional images representing respective cross-sections of the vessel segment, (c) identifying, for each of the plurality of two-dimensional images, a lumen area comprising lumen pixels representing a lumen of the corresponding cross-section, (d) obtaining a quantitative measure using the lumen areas of successive cross-sections of the vessel segment, and (e) assessing blood vessel stenosis using the quantitative measure. A computer system for performing the above method is disclosed.
