The majority of patients with angina or heart failure have coronary artery disease. Left main bifurcations are particularly susceptible to pathological narrowing. Flow is a major factor of atheroma development, but limitations in imaging technology such as spatio-temporal resolution, signal-to-noise ratio (SNRv), and imaging artefacts prevent in vivo investigations. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)...
Coronary tree matching is applied to plan percutaneous vascular procedures. This work, which allows following each segment of non-isomorphic coronary trees over time, precedes the determination of the best 2D angiography view from C-arm acquisition system for angioplasty procedure. To match two 3D coronary trees which represent two successive cardiac phases, we adapted a reference inexact tree matching...
A method for the reconstruction of a vessel centerline from angiographic images is outlined in this work. A typical coronary artery segment with bifurcations was emulated with a 3D printed static phantom and several angiograms were acquired at various angular positions on the C-Arm. The effectiveness of the reconstruction turned out to be largely influenced by the intrinsic parameters of the angiographic...
