From: The importance of three dimensional coronary artery reconstruction accuracy when computing virtual fractional flow reserve from invasive angiography

Figure 2

3D-printed left coronary artery phantom (A) underwent coronary angiography according to standard clinical protocol in the cardiac catheter laboratory (B). Paired images ≥ 30° apart (C, D) were used to reconstruct the arterial anatomy (E). (E) is a screen shot from the MeshLab software: the artery reconstructed from imaged phantom is superimposed on top of the artery from the reference file (used to 3D the phantom in A) in 3D virtual space. Visual inspection demonstrates excellent agreement but the colour map demonstrates areas of perfect agreement (green) through to areas without perfect correspondence (red).
