1. A device for determining a position of a stent in an image of a vasculature structure, the device comprising:
input circuitry configured to receive a sequence of images of the vasculature structure comprising at least one vessel branch;
a processor configured to:
detect at least two markers associated with the stent in the sequence of images of the vasculature structure and a position of each of the at least two markers;
detect a path indicator for a vessel branch of the at least one vessel branch in the sequence of images of the vasculature structure and a location of the path indicator;
associate the at least two markers to the path indicator based on the position of each of the at least two markers and the detected location of the detected path indicator; and
assign the at least two markers to a marker group based on the association of the at least two markers to the path indicator to indicate position of the stent in the vasculature structure.
