Abstract
Most efforts in the field of quantitative data extraction from coronary cineangiograms have focused on the development of methods to determine the severity of coronary obstructions in terms of percentage diameter and/or cross-sectional area reduction from single or biplane cineangiograms; a brief overview of the relevant literature in this field is presented in 11. However, if we would be able to determine with a sufficient degree of accuracy the three-dimensional shape and size of coronary arterial segments, an additional number of clinically important parameters would become available. For example, from the three-dimensional data several hemodynamic parameters of the arterial segments may be computed, such as the hemodynamic resistance of an obstruction and the blood flow through the artery after selective administration of a contrast bolus. These data may augment our knowledge in searching for the definition of the ‘critical’ stenosis. Furthermore, the three-dimensional morphology and particularly the changes over longer periods of time may provide us with detailed information about the presence and development of coronary atherosclerosis.
