Abstract

A method is disclosed for determining a boundary surface network of the tubular object. In an embodiment, a representation of the tubular object is initially provided on the basis of image data and local dimension information is provided for points of the representation. A subdivided division structure presentation of the tubular object with division cells is then created, which based on the local dimension information, including a different spatial extent. Finally a boundary surface network is derived on the basis of the division structure presentation. Also described are a boundary surface network determination system and a division structure determination system for performing such a method.
