Abstract
A method and apparatus for displaying information concerning a tubular structure is disclosed. The method includes determining a centerline of the tubular structure and a plurality of center points along that centerline, determining a plurality of cross-sections at the respective center points that are perpendicular to the centerline, and identifying first values associated with each of the cross-sections and indicative of a first characteristic of the tubular structure. The method additionally includes generating a modified image of the tubular structure by determining a plurality of image lines corresponding to the respective cross-sections, and displaying a curve that represents the first characteristic alongside the modified image. The curve is formed by displaying, along a scale, a plurality of second values that are functionally related to the respective first values, each second value being positioned alongside the modified image along a respective one of the image lines.
