Abstract
Systems and methods for providing an overlay data set. The method includes providing a 3D data set that images a vessel, unfolding at least a partial region of the 3D data set along a center line of the vessel to produce a two-dimensional unfolded image, acquiring a first projection of the vessel, registering the first projection with the 3D data set, and providing the overlay data set comprising an overlay of the first projection on the two-dimensional unfolded image.
Claims16
A method for providing an overlay data set, the method comprising:
- providing a 3D data set depicting a vessel;
- unfolding at least a partial region of the 3D data set along a center line of the vessel to produce a two-dimensional unfolded image;
- acquiring a first projection of the vessel;
- registering the first projection with the 3D data set;
- and
- providing the overlay data set comprising an overlay of the first projection on the two-dimensional unfolded image.
An imaging modality for providing an overlay data set, the imaging modality comprising:
- a memory facility for providing a 3D data set depicting a vessel;
- a computing facility for unfolding at least a partial region of the 3D data set along a center line of the vessel to produce a two-dimensional unfolded image;
- and
- a capture facility for acquiring a first projection of the vessel;
- wherein the computing facility is configured to:
- register the first projection with the 3D data set;
- and
- provide the overlay data set comprising an overlay of the first projection on the two-dimensional unfolded image.
A non-transitory computer implemented storage medium, including machine-readable instructions stored therein for providing an overlay data set, the machine-readable instructions when executed by at least one processor, cause the processor to:
- provide a 3D data set depicting a vessel;
- unfold at least a partial region of the 3D data set along a center line of the vessel to produce a two-dimensional unfolded image;
- acquire a first projection of the vessel;
- register the first projection with the 3D data set;
- and
- provide the overlay data set comprising an overlay of the first projection on the two-dimensional unfolded image.
