Abstract
Angiographic recordings are to be made more informative. To this end, a method for spatiotemporal fusion of time-resolved angiographic data sets is proposed. Respective 4D reconstructions are obtained from angiographic 3D data sets acquired from contrast agents administered at different sites. In both 4D reconstructions, a common vascular region is identified. For each contrast agent bolus, the corresponding time point or time course in the common vascular region is determined. Finally, the two 4D reconstructions are synchronized and fused.
