Abstract:
1. A device for adaptive roadmapping for examination of an object of interest, comprising: a processor configured to receive pre-navigation image data that represents at least a part of a vascular structure comprising a tree-like structure with a plurality of sub-trees, and to receive live image data of the object, wherein the object comprises the vascular structure, and wherein the vascular structure contains an element of interest; and a display; wherein the processor is further configured to generate a vessel representation based on the pre-navigation image data; to determine a spatial relation of the pre-navigation image data and live image data; to analyze the live image data by identifying and localizing the element in the live image data; to determine a sub-tree in which the element is positioned based on the localizing of the element and on the spatial relation, to select a portion of the vascular structure based on the determined sub-tree; and to generate a combination of the live image data and an image of the selected portion of the vascular structure; and wherein the display is adapted to display the combination as a tailored roadmap.
