Popis: Intravascular ultrasound images (IVUS) have allowed deepening in the knowledge of the true extension of the coronary vessel illness. Today, vessel diagnosis is limited to observation and measurements in the IVUS planes. For a bigger accuracy, 3D visualization is necessary to allow estimating the extension, localization and severity of the pathology. We develop tools for interactive 3D visualization to extend the views to any sailing angle through the cube of IVUS data. As a result, physicians are allowed to inspect and get 3D measurements about the vessel pathology from IVUS images.
