Abstract
Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) provides real-time high resolution images of the arterial wall. By performing a three-dimensional reconstruction, it permits an advanced assessment of the vessel, lumen and wall morphology. Recently, the straight stacking of the IVUS images has been extended by a geometrically correct orientation of the images in 3D space, using biplane angiographic images. Quantification of NUS images, both in 2D and 3D, requires segmentation of the images. Automated segmentation of IVUS images for quantitative analysis reduces the required time and the subjectivity of boundary tracing. Different segmentation approaches for 2D and 3D IVUS are discussed, including the commercially available packages for analysis of NUS images. Furthermore different approaches for the 3D reconstruction including the use of biplane angiographic images are discussed. This chapters finishes with a discussion about the future directions of IVUS including the developments in the area of RF-data analysis and the developments of new devices.
