1. A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:
estimating features of a plurality of vascular segments depicted in at least one vascular image, wherein individual vascular segments comprise a plurality of portions that extend between two end points depicted in the vascular image;
classifying a node into a particular node-type classification, wherein the node is identified as a connection point between at least a subset of the vascular segments;
estimating a vascular path formed from at least the subset of the vascular segments; and
causing an interactive user interface to be presented, wherein the interactive user interface is configured to:
present a graphical depiction of at least some of the estimated vascular segments that form the vascular path and
present a plurality of vascular path options for the vascular path based on one or more criteria, the one or more criteria including at least the node-type classification and a continuity of direction, wherein the continuity of direction is determined in part by vascular intensity values of the at least one vascular image.
