Method and apparatus for the visualization of tubular of anatomical structures, in particular in the blood vessel structures, in medical 3d - image recordings

摘要

The present invention relates to a process as well as a device for the visualization of tubular of anatomical structures, in particular in the blood vessel structures, in medical 3 - d - image recordings. The method according to the invention comprises the following steps: provision of 3 - d - image data of the tubular anatomical structure, in the 3 - d - image data, determining a center line (201) of the tubular anatomical structure, selecting a point (p) of the center line (201), generating a the point (p) associated 2 - d - cutting pattern, wherein the 2 - d - sectional view a sectional plane (205) in the 3 - d - image data, the relative to a portion (208) of the center line (201), including the point (p) as well as a predeterminable portion piece is initially - and the part piece end point (203, 204) of the portion (208), is arranged in such a way that for each agent lines point of the portion (208) orthogonal distance (207) to the sectional plane (205) is equal to or less than a predetermined value r, wherein the value r is greater than a value r_krit is selected, and wherein r_krit indicates the value for the precisely such a sectional plane (205) can be determined, and of visually displaying the 2 - d - tomogram.
