Visualization of an object of interest, such as anatomy like a vessel segment or a stenosis, together with a device, such as balloon/stent markers or a wire tip, inside the object of interest may be accomplished by device detection and anatomy boosting so as to enhance both the device and surrounding anatomy within a registered anatomy referential. A displayed image is a combination of image information of the device and boosted image information of the object of interest. A processor performs the following steps: detecting and segmenting the device on the basis of image information provided by the image formation unit; either wiping out or attenuating the image information of the device; detecting the object of interest on the basis of the provided image information; boosting the image information of the object of interest; and reinserting the image information of the device. |
