Abstract:
This paper presents a method for estimating three-dimensional (3D) motion of coronary arteries from single-plane X-ray angiogram sequences on two views. Firstly, original images are preprocessed and two-dimensional (2D) vessel skeletons are extracted. 2D motion estimation is performed along the skeletons in two images. Then geometrical transformation matrix between views is obtained based on perspective projection model for X-ray angiography system, and 3D coordinate of spatial points are calculated. The 3D motion estimation and reconstruction algorithm is applied along the two image sequences to accomplish 3D reconstruction of vessel skeletons and motion vectors between consecutive time instants. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated on clinical single-plane coronary artery angiograms and potential errors are discussed.
