Abstract
A tip of a vascular catheter is detected in a sequence of vessel image frames obtained using x-rays. Within the vessel image frames, a proximal point corresponding to a vessel ostium is determined. The sequence of vessel image frames are cropped to an image area surrounding the proximal point to generate a cropped sequence of cropped vessel image frames. Within cropped vessel image frames not indicative of a contrast medium, the tip of the vascular catheter is detected, and the detected tip of the vascular catheter is tracked.
