Method and system for intelligent digital subtraction

摘要

A method and system for intelligent digital subtraction is disclosed. The method and system for intelligent digital subtraction can be used in a roadmap application for a coronary intervention. A mask image is obtained with vessels highlighted by contrast media. A guide wire is inserted into the vessels, and a guide wire image is obtained. A direct subtraction image is generated from the guide wire image and the mask image. A reduced noise subtraction image is generated based on mutual image information between the subtraction image and the guide wire image and mutual image information between the subtraction image and the mask image.
