Abstract

A stereo processing system for medical X-ray imaging, based on the principle of stereo imaging and display, is presented. The whole system consists of three subsystems: the X-ray control unit, the image acquisition and processing subsystem, and the stereo display subsystem. The parallel structure with two channels for X-ray image processing, the digital subtraction angiography technique, and the stereo depth determination technique with the interaction mode are described. The architecture of the system and the improved reconstructed stereographic X-ray image display system are introduced. The merits of the system and applications are discussed
