Algorithm Comparison for Cardiac Image Fusion of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography and 3D Echocardiography

• Treatment decision for coronary artery disease (CAD) is based on both morphological and functional information. Image fusion of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) could combine morphology and function into a single image to facilitate diagnosis. Three semi-automatic feature-based algorithms for CCTA/3DE registration were implemented and applied on CAD patients. Algorithms were verified and compared using landmarks manually identified by a cardiologist. All algorithms were found feasible for CCTA/3DE fusion.
