Abstract :
The virtual catheterization laboratory is based on rotatable 3D vessel reconstructions of different coronary artery types. The state of the art equipment allows the choice of all projections by preselection of the corresponding angles. The indention of this instructional program is to train the ability to choose optimal projections even for complex coronary artery anatomy and improving the accuracy of diagnosis and to minimise the number of necessary cineruns
