Abstract
A 3D anatomical model of one or more blood vessels of a patient may be obtained using CT angiography, while a 2D image of the blood vessels may be obtained based on fluoroscopy. The 3D model may be registered with the 2D image based on a contrast injection site identified on the 3D model and/or in the 2D image. A fused image may then be created to depict the overlaid 3D model and 2D image, for example, on a monitor or through a virtual reality headset. The injection site may be determined automatically or based on a user input that may include a bounding box drawn around the injection site on the 3D model, a selection of an automatically segmented area in the 3D model, etc.
