To create a 3D model of part of a cardiovascular system, two 2D images taken of different orientations of the cardiovascular system may be combined. The 2D images originate from video streams taken at different points in time, which comprise frames showing a beating heart, and thus a moving cardiovascular system. Because of this movement, not just any random set of two 2D images may result in useable 3D model. To select a proper set of two 2D images, a method is provided wherein said selection is based on cardiac cycle data. The cardiac cycle data may comprise heart activity data as a function of time and timing data on cycle events. These cycle events may be repetitive, as the same events occur with every heartbeat. The selected frames are preferably selected at, or approximately at, similar events.
