Abstract

A method comprises receiving a user input to select a first point and a second point from a medical image, extracting a plurality of blood vessel regions from a plurality of frame images of the medical image, determining a plurality of first regions associated with the first point and a plurality of second regions associated with the second point, determining a first frame image and a second frame image with the contrast agent arriving at the first point and the second point, based on a change in pixel intensity for each of the plurality of first regions and the plurality of second regions, and computing the blood flow velocity from the first point to the second point based on a time interval between the first frame image and the second frame image and on a distance between the first point and the second point.
