Quantitative Analysis of Deformable Model-Based 3-D Reconstruction of Coronary Artery From Multiple Angiograms

Three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of the coronary artery is important for the diagnosis and interventional treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, a novel mean composited external force back-projective composition model is proposed and integrated into the deformable model framework for the 3-D reconstruction of coronary arteries from multiple angiograms. The parametric snake evolves toward the real vascular centerline in 3-D...
