Temporal anatomical target tagging in angiograms

摘要

The image processing apparatus and method take a stream (A) of preoperative reference images (OP) and angiographic images (A1 to A3) as inputs. Of the angiographic image (A1 to A3) stream (A), when displayed based on a plurality of predefined regions of interest (ROIa to c) in the reference image (PO) An angiographic image that best represents each of c) is detected. The detected angiographic image is associated with the region of interest to form an associated data structure (DS). A graphical user interface (GUI) is generated. The graphical user interface (GUI) is configured such that when a user selects any of the regions of interest (ROIa-c) on the graphical user interface (GUI), the related data structure (DS) To allow retrieval of the associated angiogram.
