A medical imaging system with a screen, an X-ray imaging device having an X-ray interface and an intravascular data acquisition device having an intravascular interface provide enhanced X-ray images. For this purpose, the medical imaging system is adapted for overlaying an information set provided at the intravascular interface onto an X-ray image provided at the X-ray interface on user request for generating an enhanced X-ray image and for displaying the enhanced X-ray image on the screen.

Medical imaging system and method for providing an enhanced X-ray image

A system and method for vascular roadmapping include an X-ray imaging device for generating a fluoroscopy image, a data base in which a plurality of contrast-enhanced images is stored, a user interface element and a processor. Each of the contrast-enhanced images is stored together with the imaging parameters based on which the image is generated. The user interface element may be configured for selecting any intended imaging parameters, such as by manually adjusting the imaging device in any position and orientation. The processor may be configured for identifying a stored contrast-enhanced image out of the plurality of contrast-enhanced images, which is generated with specific imaging parameters, where the deviation of the specific imaging parameters from the intended imaging parameters is as small as possible, thus the processor may be configured for identifying the nearest available roadmap.
