Abstract
A method for analyzing a tubular structure in a patient includes receiving a cursor first position within a displayed tubular structure representative of the tubular structure in the patient, determining a path inside the tubular structure based only on the received cursor first position, and moving a cursor along the path by a pre-determined distance in a pre-determined direction to a cursor second position.
