ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method of analyzing an object data set in which a tubular structure having a plurality of branches and bifurcations occurs, wherein the object data set assigns data values to positions in a multi-dimensional space, which data values relate to an object to be examined. The invention relates further to a corresponding apparatus and computer program.
