Abstract:
An image of a cardiovascular system is used as an example to consider a class of images containing branches of cross-linked and tree-like three-dimensional structures. The paper describes one of the methods of obtaining three-dimensional coordinates of heart vessel scanning points based on the results of processing two image projections. The work proposes a set of basic geometric characteristics describing the objects of two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures. It presents the methods for calculating the proposed parameters, as well as the algorithms for evaluating the properties of a heart vessel, taking into account the three-dimensionality of the initial area in the analysis of the heart images.

Keywords:
three-dimensional tree-like and cross-linked structure, image a cardiovascular system, three-dimensional coordinate, image processing, heart image.
