Abstract:
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 (P i , P j , P k , P l ). For the reconstruction only those projection pictures are used in which the projection lines (l i , l k , l l ) of a characteristic object feature intersect at approximately the same spatial point ( r 0 ). The characteristic object feature can in particular be a vessel branch which can easily be located on the projection pictures.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for 3D modeling of a three-dimensional tubular structure of an examination object from 2D projection images (D) of the structure taken from different projection directions. The method has the following steps: reconstruction of a 3D image from the 2D projection images (D); selection of at least one 3D central line point (MO) in the 3D image, said 3D central line point being located in the structure; segmentation of 3D central line points (M) of the structure in the 3D image; forward projection of the 3D central line points (M), which have been segmented in the 3D image, into 2D projection images (D'); determination of border points of the structure in the 2D projection images (D') on the basis of 3D central line points (Z) that have been projected in; and back-projection of the border points from the 2D projection image (D') into the 3D image.
Abstract:
The method involves determining central 2D central line points in 2D projection images of a first movement phase, modeling first 3D central line points in the same phase, projecting the first 3D central line points into second 2D images of a second phase, recording the 3D central line points projected into the second 2D images to obtain 2D central line points, iterating, determining the profile in the 2D images and reconstructing 3D images. The method involves determining central 2D central line points in at least two 2D projection images acquired in the same first movement phase (S1), modeling first 3D central line points in the same first phase (S2), projecting the first 3D central line points into at least two second 2D images acquired in a second phase (S3), recording the 3D central line points projected into the second 2D images to obtain 2D central line points (S4), iterating for more phases, determining the profile of the tubular structure element in the 2D images (S6) and reconstructing 3D images in different phases (S7). Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) an arrangement for producing four-dimensional image data records of a moving tubular structure (b) a computer program with a computer program arrangement for causing a computer to implement the inventive method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the computer-aided reconstruction of a three-dimensional anatomical object ( 3 ) from diagnostic image data. First of all, a diagnostic image data set of the object ( 3 ) is acquired. Then a seed point ( 5 ) is set, starting from which the object is reconstructed within a reconstruction volume ( 4 ). Thereafter, an adjacent point of the reconstruction volume ( 4 ) likewise belonging to the object ( 3 ) is located in accordance with a propagation criterion, which is calculated by means of a mathematical analysis of local areas ( 6, 7 ), assigned to the point concerned, of the image data set Reconstruction of the three-dimensional structure of the object ( 3 ) is then performed within the reconstruction volume ( 4 ) by multiple repetition of this method step and propagation along the located adjacent points. To apply such a reconstruction method to image data obtained by means of rotational X-ray imaging, wherein a plurality of two-dimensional projection images ( 1, 2 ) are recorded from different projection directions, the invention proposes that the propagation criterion be calculated by subjecting the local image areas ( 6, 7 ) of the two-dimensional projection images ( 1, 2 ) in each case individually to the mathematical analysis.
