Abstract :
Diagnosis and quantification of coronary arteries diseases is a task for application of an image analysis technique. A three-dimensional representation of the coronaries is needed for precise evaluation. 3D reconstruction from a few radiological projections is an ambiguous problem for which the current work presents a tool to evaluate 2D and 3D image processing algorithms that help the development of a 3D reconstruction procedure. It also represents an alternative tool for improving the study of the coronaries. This tool is developed on a Silicon Graphics platform, in object oriented programming offering a friendly graphic interface
