Abstract
A computer-implemented method is for providing a two-dimensional unfolded image of at least one tubular structure. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving three-dimensional image data of an examination region including the at least one tubular structure; selecting a set of input points in the three-dimensional image data; determining a projection surface with respect to the three-dimensional image data; calculating a set of surface points of the projection surface; calculating a deformed projection surface by applying a deformation algorithm onto the projection surface; calculating a set of voxel positions with respect to the three-dimensional image data based on the deformed projection surface; and calculating the two-dimensional unfolded image of the at least one tubular structure based on the three-dimensional image data and the set of voxel positions.
