Abstract

The invention relates to a method of scanning for vascular ill health using a data set from an in vivo scan, the method including the steps of: (1) extracting blood vessel location data and blood vessel size data from the scan data set; (2) selecting a region in the extracted vessel location data; and (3) comparing the size data in the selected region to size data in a corresponding region of a normative data set to determine vascular health.
