3-D reconstruction of a coronary artery and blood flow simulation. (A) Extraction of the IVUS path from biplane angiography; (B) semi-automated border detection of the IVUS images; (C) placement of the detected borders onto the catheter path and determination of their absolute orientation; (D) virtual endoscopy of the reconstructed vessel; (E) blood flow simulation into the final model and determination of the endothelial shear stresses.
