Abstract

An apparatus produces image space data (35) indicative of the spatially varying strength of the vascular connections between locations in the image space and a lesion or other feature of interest. The data may be presented by way of a maximum intensity projection (MIP) display in which the brightness of the image represents the strength of the vascular connection.
