3D Reconstruction of Coronary Artery using Biplane Angiography

چکیده
In this paper, we present a new method for the 3D reconstruction and visualization of coronary arteries in biplane angiography. The proposed method performs direct reconstruction of 3D coronary artery pathways without computing the 2D or 3D vessel centerlines. A front propagation algorithm is used to reconstruct the coronary artery pathways in 3D space. Starting from one or more 3D points, the front is expanded with a propagation speed controlled by the combined image information from two 2D projections. Then the reconstructed 3D coronary artery pathways are smoothed to reflect the real situation of a smoothed vessel surface. As shown in the experiment result, the coronary artery can be successfully reconstructed from two projections of biplane angiograms.

3D Reconstruction of Stenotic Coronary Arterial Segments using Intravascular Ultrasound and Angiographic Images
A number of imaging modalities help in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and biplane coronary angiography represent commonly used diagnostic tools. IVUS imaging generates cross sectional images of the vessel and permits direct visualization of the morphology of coronary arteries. This information is important for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease a...

BACKGROUND True 3D reconstruction of coronary arteries in patients based on intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) may be achieved by fusing angiographic and IVUS information (ANGUS). The clinical applicability of ANGUS was tested, and its accuracy was evaluated quantitatively. METHODS AND REUSLTS: In 16 patients who were investigated 6 months after stent implantation, a sheath-based catheter was used...
متن کاملEfficient Reconstruction of Coronary Vessels from 2D Angiography
The recovery of three-dimensional (3D) object information from biplane CT angiographic images is still a challenge in application of modelling coronary vessel trees. The proposed method of 3D reconstruction is obtained from the two-dimensional (2D) corresponding feature points by using triangulation projection based on the rotated mechanical angles of the CT angiographic machine. Those 2D featu...

Image-based computational models for quantifying hemodynamic indices in stented coronary arteries often employ biplane angiography and intravascular ultrasound for 3D reconstruction. Recent advances in guidewire simulation algorithms and the rise of optical coherence tomography (OCT) suggest more precise coronary artery reconstruction may be possible. We developed a patientspecific method that ...
