Title
Viewpoint planning for quantitative coronary angiography.
Abstract
We introduce an algorithm for optimal viewpoint planning from a single angiographic X-ray image. The quality of the second viewpoint-i.e., vessel foreshortening and true rotation around vessel-depends on the first viewpoint selected by the physician; however, our computed viewpoint is guaranteed to reduce the initial foreshortening. Our novel approach uses fluoroscopy images only and, thus, seamlessly integrates with the current clinical workflow for coronary assessment. In addition, it can be implemented in the QCA workflow without increasing user interaction, making vessel-shape reconstruction more stable by standardizing viewpoints.
