APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AN IMAGE OF A VASCULAR SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for the joint three-­dimensional display of an angiogram (12) and local intravascular images (10, 11). The angiogram (12) is preferably recorded by means of an X-ray apparatus (3, 7), while the local intravascular images are generated by an ultrasound probe (4) on a catheter (1). The position of the probe (4) is determined by a position determination unit and is used to assign the recorded volume (5) to the angiogram (12).
