While the mechanisms of plaque development in coronary arteries are not yet completely understood, vessel geometry and its influence on hemodynamics are of major importance. This ...
The segmentation of the myocardium based on the 17-segment model as recommended by the American Heart Association is widely used in medical practice. The patient-specific coronary...
Abstract. 3D models of coronary arteries is a valuable help for the planning and simulation of minimally-invasive cardiac surgery, and may be used in per-operative augmented realit...
Calcified coronary arteries can cause severe cardiac problems and may provoke an infarction of the heart’s wall. An established treatment method is the bypass operation. The usa...
In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach for the automatic three-dimensional segmentation of coronary arteries using multi-scale vessel filtering and a Bayesian probabilistic ...

High-frequency ultrasound transducers are being widely used to generate high resolution, real time, cross-sectional images of the coronary arteries. In this paper, we present a ro...

Abstract. In this paper we propose a Particle Filter-based approach for the segmentation of coronary arteries. To this end, successive planes of the vessel are modeled as unknown s...
The quality of cardiac images acquired with multi-detector CT scanners has improved significantly, to the point where minimally invasive examination of the coronary arteries became...
Abstract. This paper presents a new technique of coronary digital subtraction angiography which separates layers of moving background structures from dynamic fluoroscopic sequences...
We present an approach to derive patient specific coronary models from ECG-gated CTA data and their application for the alignment of CTA with mono-plane X-ray imaging during interv...
