Abstract
An imaging method for representing results of intravascular imaging (IVB) and CFD results of plaques of a vascular vessel tree of a patient and an imaging medical system for execution of the method are proposed. A 3-D image data set of the area under examination is acquired with x-ray beams for the generation of 3-D x-ray images. A 3-D reconstruction image of the area under examination is generated from the 3-D x-ray images. IVB images are generated by intravascular imaging. Larger calcified plaques in the 3-D x-ray images and IVB images are identified for determining orientation points or landmarks. The spatial position of the plaques are correlated and/or registered based on the orientation points or landmarks. The IVB image data and 3-D image data are fused and reproduced.
