Abstract
A system () and a corresponding method enable an enhanced roadmapping visualization without unnecessary device-footprints. The system () includes an x-ray imaging device () for acquiring x-ray images and a calculation unit (). The x-ray imaging device () is adapted for acquiring a first x-ray image () with an interventional device () present in the vessels () while no contrast agent is present in the vessels () and a second x-ray image () with the interventional device () present in the vessels () while contrast agent is present in the vessels (). The calculation unit is adapted for creating a roadmap image () by subtracting the first x-ray image () from the second x-ray image () and automatically minimizing the visibility of the interventional device () in the roadmap image (). A display unit () is adapted to display the roadmap image () or an overlay of a current fluoroscopy image () with the roadmap image ().
