This paper deals with a method of registration and superimposition of a coronary arterial tree on a myocardial SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) image. We can grasp the myocardial function more easily in connection with the shape of thc. coronary arterial tree. The superimposed image is easily obtainable through some manual pointing on coronary angiograms (CAG) followed by an automatic matching method: First, a rough shape, model of left ventricle is estimated by using SPECT data, This 3-D left ventricular model is projected on a pair of bi-plane CAG images. We can obtain two 2-D coronary images on bull's eye map by scanning the left ventricular surface projected on CAG. By maximizing a matching degree between two 2-D coronary images, registration between CAG and SPECT is performed. Finally the superimposed image is obtained by integrating two 2-D coronary images and bull's eye image of SPECT, We validated our method by numerical experiments with artificial data set and also applied it to two clinical data sets.
