Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing an angiographic simulation is disclosed. A vascular structure is segmented within a 3D imaging dataset, such as a CT scan or MRI scan. The voxels corresponding to virtual contrast are placed within the segmented vascular structure. Multi-phase simulations can be performed to track contrast flow through the vascular tree. Some embodiments comprises inserting virtual contrast in conjunction with performing a deformity of the vascular structure.
