Three-dimensional tracking of coronary arteries from biplane angiographic sequences using parametrically deformable models.

Three-dimensional tracking of coronary arteries from biplane angiographic sequences using parametrically deformable models.

A new method for coronary artery tracking in biplane digital subtraction is presented. The dynamic tracking of nonrigid objects from two views is achieved using a generalization of parametrically deformable models. Three-dimensional (3-D) Fourier descriptors used for shape representation are obtaine...
