Validation of videodensitometry in the assessment of stenosis phantoms: an in vitro and in vivo study

  • Chapter
Quantitative Coronary Angiography in Clinical Practice

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 145))

Abstract

Computer-assisted automatic assessment of luminal contours (edge detection) is the technique normally used in quantitative angiography. The accuracy of the measurements with edge-detection, however, can be impaired by the presence of eccentric lesions or of lesions of complex lumen geometry. Under these conditions densitometry has a potential advantage because of its independence from the shape of the lesion.
