Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Anatomy

Background:

  • Accurate three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of coronary artery trees is crucial for diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases.
  • Existing methods may face challenges in spatial reconstruction and handling complex vascular structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel knowledge-driven approach for the 3D reconstruction of coronary artery trees.
  • To enhance the accuracy and robustness of spatial reconstruction using limited projection data.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a binary tree model for arterial structure and its projections from two X-ray views.
  • Implementing a matching algorithm for vascular segments across the two projections, incorporating imaging geometry and anatomical/topological knowledge via a rule base.
