Image Processing System, Particularly for Images of Implants

Abstract

The invention relates to an image processing system that is adapted to generate a three-dimensional image (32) from projections (P, 31) of a body volume which may for example be generated by a rotational X-ray system (10). The image processing system is further adapted to display on a monitor (30) simultaneously at least one of the original projections (31) and the generated 3D-image (32) together with a superimposed representation of a target region like an implantable stent. The user may then change the dimensions and the shape of the target region in any of the displayed images (31, 32) and watch the results in all images (31, 32). As the original projections (31) are free of errors generated by the reconstruction and visualization of the 3D-image (32), their consideration yields an improved geometrical accuracy.
