01/2004 | Methods of Information in Medicine, SchattauerABSTRACT: If planned and applied correctly, intra-vascular brachytherapy (IVB) can significantly reduce the risk of restenosis after interventional treatment of stenotic arteries. OBJECTIVES: In order to facilitate computer-based IVB planning, a three-dimensional reconstruction of the stenotic artery based on intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) sequences is desirable. METHODS: To attain a 3D reconstruction, the frames of the IVUS sequence are properly aligned in space and completed with additional intermediate frames generated by interpolation...
