Abstract :
The authors review a methodology for accurate 3-D reconstruction of the coronary artery vascular bed from multiview ECG (electrocardiography) correlated digital cardiac angiography. A technique for registration of angiographically determined vessel morphology with cardiac image detail obtained using ultrafast computed tomography is presented. Some preliminary registration results are provided
