Abstract

An algorithm for three dimensional identification of the coronary artery by biplane angiogram is described. The algorithm is based on a few assumptions of the anatomical structure of the coronary artery and it succeeds in reconstructing the 3-D structure almost automatically using information such as diameter of the artery and the direction of it at node points. The results are displayed on a CRT as a stereo pair for binocular vision or as a rotating 3-D structure. Combining these results with a 3-D computer display of a myocardial scintigram, an effective tool for evaluating or understanding mutual image information is obtained. For the myocardium, superimposition with a conceptual coronary artery model is also effective. Experiments with clinical data show the usefulness of this procedure for understanding the degree and region of ischemia.
