Abstract

See full text

Stent viewing is provided in medical imaging. Stent images are provided with minimal or no user input of spatial locations. Images showing contrast agent are distinguished from other images in a sequence. After aligning non-contrast images, the images are compounded to enhance the stent. The contrast agent images are used to identify the vessel. A contrast agent image is aligned with the enhanced stent or other image to determine the relative vessel location. An indication of the vessel wall may be displayed in an image also showing the stent. A preview images may be output. A guide wire may be used to detect the center line for vessel identification. Various detections are performed using a machine-trained classifier or classifiers.
