Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is configured to:
calculate a centerline of the isolated patient specific anatomical feature;
determine start and end points of the isolated patient specific anatomical feature and a directional vector from the start point to the end point;
establish cutting planes at predefined intervals along the centerline based on the directional vector from the start point to the end point, each cutting plane perpendicular to a direction of travel of the centerline at each interval;
raycast in the cutting plane at each interval to determine a position of intersection on the isolated 3D surface mesh model from the centerline; and
calculate a length across the isolated 3D surface mesh model based on the determined positions of intersection at each interval to thereby generate physiological information associated with the selected pathology for the isolated 3D surface mesh model.
