Popis: Coronary angiography delivers accurate information about the vessel topology and shape, but only limited data concerning the vessel cross-section. Intravascular ultrasound provides detailed information about the cross-sectional shape as well as the composition of vessel wall and plaque, but fails to consider the geometric relationships between adjacent images. In this paper, we present a new approach for combination of both methods to allow accurate assessment of coronary arteries regarding both longitudinal and cross-sectional dimensions.
