This study fuses X-ray contrast angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging for detailed 3D/4D coronary artery visualization. This approach enhances the assessment of coronary function and plaque severity using computational fluid dynamics.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular imaging
  • Medical image analysis
  • Computational fluid dynamics

Background:

  • Coronary artery imaging relies on X-ray contrast angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
  • Angiography details lumen geometry, while IVUS provides vascular wall information.
  • Integrating these modalities offers comprehensive coronary visualization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the fusion of angiography and IVUS for 3D/4D coronary representation.
  • To detail the use of fused imaging data for assessing coronary function and plaque.
  • To introduce blood flow index determination via computational fluid dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Geometrically correct fusion of X-ray contrast angiography and IVUS data.
  • Generation of 3-D and/or 4-D coronary geometry and morphology models.
