Abstract

Apparatus for performing an imaging procedure comprising processing volumetric image data comprising an image processing unit configured to obtain first image data representative of a region including at least one vessel and at least one associated feature, and second image data representative of at least part of the region, an image refinement unit configured to process the first image data and the second image data to produce a combined image representative of the at least one vessel, wherein the associated feature is removed or reduced in intensity in the combined image, and a rendering unit configured to render the combined image as a simulated view that simulates a view obtainable from an alternative imaging procedure.

Description

technical field [0001] This embodiment relates to a medical image processing device and a medical image processing method. Background technique [0002] Coronary artery stenosis is an obvious indicator of coronary artery disease, and various imaging techniques and diagnostic techniques have been developed in order to identify and visualize the site including the stenosis. [0003] Catheter coronary angiography has traditionally been considered the most accurate imaging technique for the assessment of coronary artery stenosis. Catheter coronary angiography, however, is an invasive procedure requiring positioning of the catheter relative to each coronary ostium, causing discomfort to the patient and possibly some danger. In addition, this technique uses X-ray fluoroscopy with exposure of the patient to high radiation doses of radiation. figure 1 is a diagram showing an example of a 2D image obtained using a known catheter coronary angiography technique. [0004] In addition...
