Title
A Comparison Of Three Multimodality Coronary 3d Reconstruction Methods
Abstract
The assessment of the severity of arterial stenoses is of utmost importance in clinical practice. Several image modalities invasive and non-invasive are nowadays available and can be utilized for the 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the arterial geometry. Following our previous study, the present study was conducted to further strengthen the evaluation of three reconstruction methodologies, namely: (i) the Quantitative Coronary Analysis (QCA), (ii) the Virtual Histology Intravascular Ultrasound VH-IVUS-Angiography hybrid method and (iii) the Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA). Data from 13 patients were employed to perform a quantitative analysis using specific metrics, such as, the Mean Wall Shear Stress (mWSS), the Minimum Lumen diameter (MLD), the Reference Vessel Diameter (RVD), the Degree of stenosis (DS%), and the Lesion length (LL). A high correlation was observed for the mWSS metric between the three reconstruction methods, especially between the QCA and CCTA (r=0.974, P<0.001).
