Abstract :
We present a preliminary version of a simulation environment to evaluate the 3D reconstruction algorithms of the coronary arteries in rotational angiography. It includes the construction of a 3D dynamic model of the coronary tree from patient data, the modeling of the rotational angiography acquisition system to simulate different acquisition and gating strategies and the calculation of radiographic projections of the 3D model of coronary tree throughout several cardiac cycles.
