A method is disclosed for visualizing tubular anatomical structures, in particular vessel structures, in medical 3D image records. In at least one embodiment, the method includes the following: firstly, providing 3D image data of the tubular anatomical structure; secondly, displaying a first image of the tubular anatomical structure on the basis of the 3D image data; thirdly, selecting an image voxel which is assigned to the tubular structure in the 3D image data on the basis of the first image; fourthly, determining a centerline of the tubular anatomical structure in a prescribably delimited region of the 3D image data comprising the image voxel; fifthly, selecting a point of the centerline; sixthly, generating one or more 2D slice images assigned to the point, the 2D slice images in each case representing a sectional plane in the 3D image data; and seventhly, displaying the 2D slice images.
