Abstract :
Biplane angiography generates just two time equivalent X-ray images. These X-ray systems can be rotated independently from each other (restricted by possible collisions only). The article explains how highly accurate 3D models of vessel systems can be reconstructed, visualized, and quantitatively evaluated from these X-ray images
