Abstract: A method includes generating, based on a distance map, a signal indicative of a quantification of a characteristic of a lumen of a tubular structure of interest over a pre-determined extent of the tubular structure of interest represented in volumetric imaging data. A system includes a quantifying component (216) that generates, based on a distance map, a signal indicative of a quantification of characteristic of a lumen of a tubular structure of interest over a pre-determined extent of the tubular structure of interest represented in volumetric imaging data. A method includes identifying voxels of 3D segmented imaging data that represent tubular structure of interest, determining distances between the identified voxels and nearest voxels corresponding to other structure in a plurality of 2D slices of the segment imaging data, representing the voxels with intensity values that are proportional to the distances, and generating a signal indicative of a 3D distance map based on the intensity values.

Abstract: A fuel tank of a motor vehicle is mounted on a body structure of the motor vehicle via fastening elements. The fuel tank has a glass fiber reinforced shaped plastic part (12) as heat shield that at least partially covers a surface of the fuel tank and is mounted with the fuel tank on the body structure of the motor vehicle via the fastening elements.

Abstract: An underside of a motor vehicle, for example, a passenger car having cross-country mobility, is equipped with a covering device which has a covering part and a fastening system for the covering part which can be mounted on the underside, the fastening system having at least one spring element. In order to protect the covering part from damage when driving over an obstacle, the spring element is arranged between the underside and the covering part, the spring forces of the spring element acting approximately at a right angle with respect to the underside.
