ABSTRACT:
A system and method for tree-model visualization for detecting an abnormality in an anatomical tree structure are provided. The method comprises: fitting a tree-model to an anatomical tree structure; converting branches of the tree-model into first two-dimensional branch images; and arranging the first two-dimensional branch images in a hierarchical order to form a second two-dimensional image.
