Abstract:
A method is provided for representing a first structure of a body region by digital subtraction angiography. The method includes: receiving a filler image of the body region created by an angiography apparatus, which represents a second structure of the body region and the first structure with a first contrast medium concentration in the first structure; determining a mask image of the body region representing the second structure; determining a subtraction image by editing out of the second structure from the filler image by the mask image; determining a guidance image representing the first structure based on the subtraction image; reducing image noise of the subtraction image by the guidance image; and representing the first structure based on the noise-reduced subtraction image.
