Title:
DETERMINING OPTIMAL WORKING VIEW FOR DIAGNOSIS IN VASCULAR SYSTEMS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004012152
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method is disclosed which allows for optimally viewing a portion of a patient vascular system to facilitate at least one of diagnosis and treatment the vascular system. The method includes acquiring a model of said vascular system based on image data generated by an imaging device, identifying a portion of interest of the vascular system including determining a central vessel axis for a vessel of interest, generating a foreshortening map of the portion of interest based on viewing angle of the imaging device position, with respect to the patient, generating an overlap map to determine an amount of overlap present for particular viewing angles based on imaging device position, and generating a feasibility map to model dimensions of the patient based on patient characteristics, imaging device configuration, foreshortening and overlap.
