Abstract:
A method of generating an image of a segment of a lumen structure comprises acquiring volumetric image data that comprises image data representative of a longitudinal segment of a lumen structure, extracting the segment of lumen structure from the volumetric image, calculating a thickness of planar MPR slab that at least encompasses the longitudinal segment of lumen structure, and rendering a planar MPR slab image based on the thickness and the volumetric image data.
