System for Processing Angiography and Ultrasound Image Data

A system provides a single composite image including multiple medical images of a portion of patient anatomy acquired using corresponding multiple different types of imaging device. A display processor generates data representing a single composite display image including, a first image area showing a first image of a portion of patient anatomy acquired using a first type of imaging device, a second image area showing a second image of the portion of patient anatomy acquired using a second type of imaging device different to the first type. The first and second image areas include first and second markers respectively. The first and second markers identify an estimated location of the same corresponding anatomical position in the portion of patient anatomy in the first and second images respectively. A user interface enables a user to move at least one of, (a) the first marker in the first image and (b) the second marker in the second image, to correct the estimated location so the first and second markers identify the same corresponding anatomical position in the portion of patient anatomy.

System and Method for Coronary Digital Subtraction Angiography

A method and system for extracting coronary vessels fluoroscopic image sequences using coronary digital subtraction angiography (DSA) are disclosed. A set of mask images of a coronary region is received, and a sequence of contrast images for the coronary region is received. For each contrast image, vessel regions are detected in the contrast image using learning-based vessel segment detection and a background region of the contrast image is determined based on the detected vessel regions. Background motion is estimated between one of the mask images and the background region of the contrast image by estimating a motion field between the mask image and the background image and performing covariance-based filtering over the estimated motion field. The mask image is then warped based on the estimated background motion to generate an estimated background layer. The estimated background layer is subtracted from the contrast image to extract a coronary vessel layer for the contrast image.

Method and apparatus for performing intra-operative angiography

The device is provided with a laser (1) for exciting the fluorescent imaging agent which emits radiation at a wavelength that causes any of the agent located within the vasculature or tissue of interest (3) irradiated thereby to emit radiation of a particular wavelength. Advantageously, a camera capable of obtaining multiple images over a period of time, such as a CCD camera (2) may be used to capture the emissions from the imaging agent. A band-pass filter (6) prevents the capture of radiation other than that emitted by the imaging agent. A distance sensor (9) incorporates a visual display (9a) providing feedback to the physician saying that the laser be located at a distance from the vessel of interest that is optimal for the capture of high quality images.
