<p>A reference image R is selected and a region of interest (ROI) is interactively selected (1,13) encompassing a desired structure from a sequence of images (11) of a moving structure. This ROI is cross-correlated with other real-time images by multiplication in the Fourier frequency domain, to determine if the desired structure is present in the image. If the structure is present, this image may be averaged with other images in which the structure is present to produce higher resolution adaptively averaged images. This invention is particularly useful in imaging coronary vessels. In an alternative embodiment, the offset of the desired structure may be calculated in a series of images. The images may then be sorted by this offset, and played back in that order to provide a "movie-like" display of the desired structure moving with the periodic motion. <IMAGE></p> |
