Patient's heart three dimensional- X-ray image data record providing method, involves utilizing interpolated movement field for distorting of records, and summing distorted records to receive records

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention describes a method for generating three-dimensional (3D) X-ray image data of a patient's heart. By using two-dimensional X-ray images taken at different heartbeat phases, the method reconstructs 3D images and corrects for the heart's motion. This is done by calculating a movement field and using it to align and sum the images for a clearer, more accurate final record.

Patent Abstract

The method involves receiving of two-dimensional X-ray images of a heart of a patient, and producing three dimensional (3D) - X-ray image data records by reconstruction of selected two-dimensional- X-ray images. A relative condition of a selected heart beat phase is determined at heart beat phases that are assigned to the records. An interpolated movement field to the records is determined or calculated relative to a reference image based on the field and the condition. The field is utilized for distorting of the records, and the produced distorted records are summed to receive the records.
