Abstract
A vascular assessment apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus is configured to receive medical images of a coronary vessel tree of a subject from a medical imaging device and analyze the medical images to identify vessel segments within the coronary vessel tree. For each identified vessel segment, the apparatus is configured to determine flow rates at each identified vessel segment and calculate an index indicative of vascular function based on the determined flow rates.
