Abstract
Device and process for simulating a patient's body for the testing of a three-dimensional vascular X-ray apparatus of the type comprising a means for emitting an X-ray beam, a means for receiving the X-ray beam, a means for displaying the images obtained, and a means for controlling the injection of opacifying liquid into the patient's vessels. The simulation device comprises a stationary part for simulating the patient's bones and soft tissues and a moving part for simulating the patient's opacified blood vessels, so as to be able to perform at least one acquisition of an image of the stationary part alone and at least one acquisition of an image of the stationary part and the moving part, and to obtain an image of the moving part by means of image.
