3-D visualization of arterial structures using ultrasound and Voxel modelling.

摘要: In this paper, a new type of vascular imaging system is presented which designed for use in conjunction with percutaneous transluminal treatment techniques (balloon and laser angioplasty, atherectomy etc). Three dimensional computer models arterial sections are reconstructed full voxel space from data acquired using purpose-built, catheter-mounted ultrasound probe. The standalone, commercially available hardware specially written software. software equally compatible source other modalities (e.g. CT MR), the can therefore be incorporated into PACS environment.
