In three-dimensional rotational x-ray coronary imaging problems may arise when estimating the motion of small vessels. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an examination apparatus is provided which is adapted for performing a hierarchical motion estimation by global affine transformation for every heart phase, followed by vessel branch selective affine and non-affine transformations. This may provide for an improved image quality.

摘要:
The invention relates to a method and a device for generating a threedimensional image of an object (9) such as in particular the heart, from a series of (X-ray) projection pictures (Pi, Pj, Pk, Pl). For the reconstruction only those projection pictures are used in which the projection lines (li, lk, ll) of a characteristic object feature intersect at approximately the same spatial point (r0). The characteristic object feature can in particular be a vessel branch which can easily be located on the projection pictures.

The invention relates to a method for the 3D modeling of a three-dimensional tubular structure of an examination object from a number of 2D projection images (D) of the tubular structure (H) taken from different projection directions. In order to be able to implement such a method with considerably less user interaction while retaining the same degree of accuracy, the following steps are proposed according to the invention: a) reconstruction of a 3D image (B) from the 2D projection images (D), b) selection of at least one 3D central line point (MO) in the 3D image (B), said 3D central line point being located in the tubular structure (H), c) segmentation of other 3D central line points (M) of the tubular structure (H) in the 3D image (B), d) forward projection of the 3D central line points (M), which have been segmented in the 3D image (B), into the 2D projection images (D′), e) determination of border points of the tubular structure (H) in the 2D projection images (D′) on the basis of the 3D central line points (Z) that have been projected in, and f) back-projection of the border points from the 2D projection images (D′) into the 3D image (B).

The invention relates to a method for the reconstruction of a three-dimensional model of a vascular tree from two-dimensional X-ray projection images (A, B, C) that are taken from different spatial directions. On a first projection image (A) at least one reference point (CA) is specified. The gray-value profiles along the epipolar lines (EB, EC) for said reference point (CA) in other projection images (B, C) are then projected on the projection line (L) of the reference point (CA) and added there punctiformly to form a sum profile (S). The sum profile (S) has an extreme, for example, a gray-value minimum, at the position of the space point (C3D) belonging to the reference point (CA). In this way, it is possible to reconstruct semiautomatically a vascular tree from X-ray projections.
摘要:
An X-ray imaging method forms a set of a plurality of two-dimensional X-Ray projection images of a medical or veterinary object to be examined through a scanning rotation by an X-Ray source viz à viz the object. Such X-Ray images are acquired at respective predetermined time instants with respect to a functionality process produced by the object. From said set of X-Ray projection images by back-projection a three-dimensional volume image of the object is reconstructed. In particular, an appropriate motion correction is derived for the respective two-dimensional images, and subsequently as based on a motion vector field from the various corrected two-dimensional images the intended three-dimensional volume is reconstructed.

The invention relates to a method for the three-dimensional reconstruction of an object such as for example a stent (5) in the coronary vessels of a patient. In the course of this, a series of X-ray projection photographs (A,) are produced from different directions, with the relevant ECG phase (E,) being recorded simultaneously. On the projection photographs (A,), the position of feature points (R, Q) is segmented (a). The photographs (A,) are furthermore allocated (b) into classes (Kp) according to their belonging to different sections (Epcl) of the heartbeat phase. For each of these classes, the corresponding spatial position ((x,y,z)Qp) of the feature points is established (e). In the next step (d), from the positions of the feature points (R, Q) that are now known for various heartbeat phases, the displacement vectors (SRp-m, SQp-m) or generally the transformations (Epm) are calculated which link (d) the positions of the feature points for different heartbeat phases (p, m). With the aid of these transformations, in a last step (e) a three-dimensional reconstruction can then be carried out for the whole stent (5) or its surroundings, by referring back to all the X-ray projection photographs from different heartbeat phases (p1, p2). In an alternative embodiment of the invention, projection photographs of a moving body volume are transformed such that the images of feature points that are located on the photographs respectively come to rest at a place on which (randomly) set spatial reference positions for the feature points are projected. With the projection photographs that are thus aligned onto the reference positions, three-dimensional reconstruction of the object can subsequently take place.
