Abstract
A method is provided for monitoring a flow of a fluid in a vessel of a body of a living being is provided. The method comprises obtaining a first image data set representing the vessel filled with a first fluid, the first image data set comprising at least one first image frame and the first fluid contrasting with matter surrounding the vessel and obtaining a second image data set representing the vessel substantially void of the first fluid, the second image data set comprising at least one second image frame. Based on the first image data set and the second image set, an estimated location of the vessel in the second image set is estimated; and monitoring presence in the second data set of contrasting image data at the estimated location of the vessel is monitored.
