A system (100) for evaluating blood flow parameters includes one or more processors (110). The processor(s) analyse angiographic image data (120) representing a motion of a front (1301, 1302) of an injected contrast agent along a vessel (140) in each of a first haemodynamic state and a second haemodynamic state, to determine a transit time, or a transit velocity, for the vessel (140) in each state. A value of one or more blood flow parameters (160) for the vessel (140) is output. The value of the blood flow parameter(s) is calculated based on the values of the transit times or the values of the transit velocities. Sequences of first and second angiograms (1701, 1702) depict the motion of the fronts (1301, 1302) along the vessel (140) in the first haemodynamic state and the second haemodynamic state, respectively. The angiogram sequences are synchronised such that the fronts in both angiograms simultaneously leave the proximal position (150p) in the vessel.
