Patient Based Bull's Eye Map Display of Coronary Artery and Ventricles From Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography

Coronary computed tomography angiography is widely used in clinical practice. Although 3-dimensional (D) volume rendering is useful for interpretation of coronary path and territory, 2D output is common for image interpretation. Most picture archiving and communication system is incapable of manipulating 3D due to insufficient graphic specification. Thus, 2D bull's eye map display is frequently used in cardiac imaging. We developed a bull's eye map which emulated the anatomical information of individual coronary path and dominancy.
