Abstract: The accurate representation of vessel geometry and plaque morphology is an important factor in the assessment of coronary atherosclerosis. The two most frequently used imaging modalities in interventional cardiology are x-ray angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Considered separately, each of these modalities has certain advantages and disadvantages. Combined, substantially more information is delivered since they complement each other. We have developed a comprehensive system for fusion of coronary image data from biplane angiography and IVUS, resulting in a 3-D or 4-D (3-D plus time) model of the vessel under consideration. This article gives a brief overview on the underlying methods and the clinical applications.
