Abstract:
The article discusses computer technology for fully automatic restoration of the spatial structure of coronary arteries based on a small number of angiographic projections. The proposed reconstruction technique consists of four preliminary stages of the analysis of projection images and the stage of the construction of the spatial structure itself. The structure development method is based on the consistent development of the spatial trace of vessels based on the simultaneous analysis of all the available projections. The article discusses in detail the stages of restoration, provides the results of separate stages. As a result, a structure is formed that contains the vector representation of spatial vessels, which is used further for visualization. The article presents the results of restoration of the spatial structure of phantom objects and the left coronary artery.

Keywords:
coronary artery, angiographic projection, computer technology, analysis projection image, phantom object.
