Abstract

See full text

Described herein is a technology for facilitating visualization of a tubular structure. Digitized image data of the tubular structure is received and processed to determine a centerline. A first transformation operation is performed on a first set of coordinates representing the tubular structure to generate a transformed tubular structure with a straight centerline. A second transformation operation is then performed locally on a second set of coordinates representing at least one fold of the transformed tubular structure to generate a transformed fold, which is perpendicular to the centerline.
