New data acquisition using variable graphic display of the coronary vessel anatomy for rapid and easy creation of angiography reports

摘要

In this newly developed software, the anatomical variation of the three-dimensional coronary vessel system can be recreated. A few mouse clicks are sufficient to reproduce an anatomically correct model of the patients own coronary artery system with respect to vessel size and number. The localization, the severity and type of stenosis can be entered, as well as grafts and stents. Through the use of anatomically accurate visual representations of coronary anatomy, the transfer of complex coronary angiography information between operators, cardiologists, and surgeons is enhanced and expedited.
