Abstract:
1. A method to generate visualization command data for two-dimensional visualization of a vascular tree of a vascular system from tomography data acquired with an imaging system comprising: providing a processor with tomography data of a vascular tree, acquired using an imaging system, as prepared tomography data comprising the acquired tomography data of the vascular tree in which the vascular tree is segmented, and in which a plurality of curve lines of the vascular tree are present that branch with respect to one another; in said processor automatically shaping inlets between curve lines, among said plurality of curve lines, that have a geometrical relationship with respect to each other selected from the group consisting of being adjacent and being connected to each other via respective node points; in said processor, generating representation data for said vascular tree in which said inlets are arranged so as to be flat and adjoining one another in a two-dimensional presentation plane; and in said processor deriving, directly from said representation data in which said inlets are arranged so as to be flat and adjoining one another in a two-dimensional presentation plane, visualization command data that control a visualized display of said vascular tree, and making said visualization command data available as a data file at an output of said processor in a form for controlling display of said visualized display of said vascular tree.
