Abstract

A computing system (126) includes a computer readable storage medium (130) with computer executable instructions (128), including: a segmentation standardizer (120) configured to determine a standardized vascular tree from a segmented vascular tree segmented of volumetric image data and a predetermined set of pruning rules (206), and a biophysical simulator (122) configured to perform a biophysical simulation based on the standardized vascular tree. The computing system further includes a processor (124) configured to execute the segmentation standardizer to determine the standardized vascular tree from the segmented vascular tree segmented of volumetric image data and the predetermined set of pruning rules, and configured to execute the biophysical simulator to perform a biophysical simulation based on the standardized vascular tree. The computing system further includes a display configured to display at least one of the standardized vascular tree and a result of the biophysical simulation.
