1. A method for automated detection of at least one part of a central line of at least one portion of a tubular tissue structure, the method comprising: detecting characteristic landmarks of the tubular tissue structure in a 3D data record of the tubular tissue structure; relating the detected characteristic landmarks of the tubular tissue structure and landmarks of a model of landmarks, the model belonging to the tubular tissue structure and taking into account a position of the landmarks relative to one another, to one another such that at least one portion of the tubular tissue structure is identified in the 3D data record of the tubular tissue structure; and determining a central line of the identified portion of the tubular tissue structure, at least in part, on the basis of at least one of at least one detected characteristic landmark and at least one landmark of the model of landmarks.
