Computer-implemented method for providing at least one two-dimensional unfolded image dataset

A computer-implemented method for providing at least one two-dimensional unfolded image dataset of an anatomical structure, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• provisioning a first three-dimensional image dataset, which includes the anatomical structure;
• determining a set of characteristic structure points of the anatomical structure based on the first three-dimensional image dataset;
• provisioning a two-dimensional model of the anatomical structure;
• determining a set of characteristic specimen points by mapping the set of characteristic structure points to the two-dimensional model;
• determining a deformation surface in a plane with the set of characteristic specimen points, wherein each specimen point of the set of characteristic specimen points is represented by a surface point, of a set of surface points, in the deformation surface;
• calculating a first deformed deformation surface by applying a deformation algorithm to the deformation surface, the set of characteristic structure points and the set of surface points, wherein each surface point from the set of surface points is moved to a corresponding characteristic structure point from the set of characteristic structure points;
• calculating a set of voxel positions relative to the first three-dimensional image dataset or relative to a second three-dimensional image dataset, and based on the first deformed deformation surface;
• calculating a first two-dimensional unfolded image dataset of the anatomical structure based on the first three-dimensional image dataset or the second three-dimensional image dataset and the set of voxel positions;
• and
• provisioning the first two-dimensional unfolded image dataset.
