METHOD FOR DETERMINING A PHYSICAL PROPERTY OF AN OBJECT, SYSTEM, COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM AND PROGRAM ELEMENT

摘要

A method and a system for determining a physical property of an object, e.g., a diameter value of an anatomical structure, employs local object context information for determining a local physical property of the object. The context information may be a known or determined cross-sectional shape of the object. In one embodiment, a processor may be configured to provide volumetric image information of the object having a three-dimensional structure; determine the physical property of the object along its three-dimensional structure; determine the object context information of the object; and visualize the object context information and the physical property on a display.
