Abstract:
At least one vascular tree supplying at least a part of the hollow organ in the computed tomography dataset is segmented, and a tree structure up to an order possible based on the blood vessel segmentation result is determined from a blood vessel segmentation result. Perfusion information for each edge in the tree structure is assigned as at least one of the computed tomography data assigned to the blood vessel segment or at least one value derived therefrom. Adjacent hollow organ segments of the hollow organ are defined based on supply by adjacent blood vessels in the tree structure, and the tree structure and the perfusion information are analyzed to determine hemodynamic information to assign to hollow organ segments. At least a part of the hemodynamic information in at least one of the computed tomography dataset or a visualization dataset derived therefrom is then visualized.
