Reconstruction of 3D model from angiographic data

Hi!

I have a query that whether we can reconstruct 3D model from angiographic data in SimVascular or not?

Thanks!

Hello,

SV was implemented with interfaces for building models from image volumes defined as a series of image planes (slices). The different tools SV uses to construct a model selects 3D coordinates from volume slices and interpolates volume data to arbitrary 2D slice planes positioned in 3D.

Angiographic images typically don't define an image volume so I don't think you could use them to create a model in SV, not sure how the MITK framework SV uses would handle that kind of data. You might need to convert the angiographic images into an image volume.

However, if you were able to create a series of vessel lumen segmentations from angiographic images then you might could create a model using the SV Python API and then read the model into SV for meshing and simulation.

Cheers,
Dave
