Three Dimensional Reconstruction Of Vascular Beds From Digital Angiographic Projections

The reconstruction of a three dimensional representation of arbitrary vascular beds from multiple projections is discussed. Operator notation is used to represent algorithms used in the reconstruction process. These operators provide the interconversion of the various data structures. The flow of the reconstruction process is reviewed and examples of reconstruction are given. Applications to fluid dynamic analysis of vascular function are presented.
