vessels are not visible entirely within just one slice ~ 1500 slices Vessel Investigation using CTA Visualization is essential!
Significance of Visualization (1) vessel lumen in MIP not visible! MIP DSA
Dataset Points Tracking Path CPR Basics • Resample an image visualizing a vessel in its entirety. CPR
Significance of Visualization (2) MIP DSA CPR
Projected CPR How To Display The Plane? • Provide good overview • Allow fast inspection • Easy to handle
Projected CPR • Resample each generating line from data set • Project to corresponding position of the image • Compositing using MIP/AVG/MinIP • Isometry not maintained • Occlusions possible • Geometric artifacts • Spatial perception very good
Stretched CPR • Resample each generating line from data set • Unroll plane in image • Height of the image depends on: • Vessel length • Curvature of the vessel in image • Sensitive to high curvature within vessel • Length-preserving • No occlusions possible • Reduced geometric artifacts
Straightened CPR • Resample each generating line from cross-section • Height of the image depends on: • Vessel length • No spatial relationship • Rotating frame • Length-preserving • No occlusions possible
CPR Limitations • Pseudo stenosis due to inaccurate centerline detection calcification • Longitudinal sections do not cover the whole vessel vessel lumen • One vessel per image results in large number of images to investigate
Thick CPR • Compositing: MIP/AVG/MinIP ~3mm
