This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250090115 titled 'DETERMINING A LENGTH OF A STENT
Original Abstract Submitted
the length of a stent for a branched vessel may be determined without a contrast agent if possible. to this end, a method includes: acquiring a projection recording of the vessel into which an instrument has been introduced; determining the instrument in the projection recording; estimating a 3d reconstruction of the determined instrument from the projection recording in order to obtain a virtual 3d instrument; establishing a start point and an end point on the virtual 3d instrument with reference to an overlay of the virtual 3d instrument and the projection recording; and automatically determining a distance between the start point and the end point along the virtual 3d instrument as the length for the stent.
