VISUALIZATION OF SEALED VESSELS

Abstract

A system for providing an image representation of an occluded vessel is provided. The system comprises one or more processors configured to: detect a segment (140p, 140d) of the vessel adjacent to the occlusion (130) in a sequence of angiographic images (120); extract, from the sequence of angiographic images (120), motion vectors (150) representing movement of the segment (140p, 140d) of the vessel based on the detected segment; mutually register the sequence of angiographic images (120) based on the extracted motion vectors (150); process the image intensities in the mutually registered sequence of angiographic images in an area of ​​interest adjacent to the segment (140p, 140d) of the vessel to provide the image representation of the occluded vessel; and output the image representation of the occluded vessel.
