ActiveVessel: A New Multimedia Workstation for Intravascular Ultrasound and Angiography Fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
ActiveVessel is a new multimedia workstation which enables the visualization, acquisition and handling of both image modalities, onand offline. It enables DICOM v3.0 decompression and browsing, video acquisition, reproduction and storage for IntraVascular UltraSound (IVUS) and angiograms with their corresponding ECG, automatic catheter segmentation in angiography images (using fast marching algorithm), BSpline models definition for vessel layers on IVUS images sequence and an extensively validated tool to fuse information. This approach defines the correspondence of every IVUS image with its correspondent point in the angiograms and vice versa. The 3D reconstruction of the IVUS catheter/vessel enables real distance measurements as well as threedimensional visualization showing vessel tortuosity in the space.

Background: Intravascular imaging is a tool to detect coronary artery atherosclerosis which plays the major role in vessel stenosis degree determination and plaque pathology as a supplement of invasive angiography. This study aimed at comparing Intravascular imaging with invasive angiography. Materials and Methods: For retrieving second type studies, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Centre for R...
متن کامل3-D Fusion of Biplane Angiography and Intravascular Ultrasound for Accurate Visualization and Volumetry
Coronary angiography delivers accurate information about the vessel topology and shape, but only limited data concerning the vessel cross-section. Intravascular ultrasound provides detailed information about the cross-sectional shape as well as the composition of vessel wall and plaque, but fails to consider the geometric relationships between adjacent images. In this paper, we present a new ap...
متن کاملQuantification of coronary hemodynamics and plaque morphology using X-ray angiography and intravascular ultrasound
While the mechanisms of plaque development in coronary arteries are not yet completely understood, vessel geometry and its influence on hemodynamics are of major importance. This manuscript presents an overview on our method for spatio-temporal modeling of the coronary arteries by fusion of data from x-ray angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and elaborates on the aspects of 4-D comp...
