Abstract

A method of presenting information associated with a blood vessel to a user for assessment of the blood vessel is provided. A two-dimensional slice of three-dimensional imaging data of a blood vessel is presented to a user in a first user interface. A blood vessel selection is received from the user. The user selects the blood vessel through an interaction with the first user interface. A blood vessel path associated with the received blood vessel selection is identified from the three-dimensional imaging data. An intensity of the selected blood vessel along the identified blood vessel path is presented to the user for analysis of the selected blood vessel.
