Résumé
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides endoluminal views and cross-sectional images of carotid arteries but lacks overview of vascular territory provided by angiography. Co-registration of IVUS with angiographic images may provide the potential to navigate both imaging modalities in a synchronous manner. The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of co-registering both imaging modalities in the carotid vasculature of the neck. Fourteen patients with 15 cervical carotid artery lesions underwent angiography and subsequent treatment. In each case, an IVUS catheter was advanced to the target lesion and a reference angiography sequence was acquired. This was followed by an electrocardiography-triggered fluoroscopy sequence that was initiated upon IVUS catheter pullback. IVUS data collected during pullback were registered with fluoroscopy and evaluated for error and clinical usability. A total of 32 landmarks were identified that demonstrated reasonable agreement during IVUS-angiography co-registration. There was a mean registration error distance of 3.36 mm (SD 2.82 mm) between targets. The longitudinal extent and severity of the disease through the target segment could be easily evaluated after co-registration. Semiautomatic tracking and co-registration of angiography and IVUS is a new technology and has the potential to increase the use of IVUS in carotid disease and to proivde the opportunity to optimize procedural outcomes.

BACKGROUND
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides endoluminal views and cross-sectional images of carotid arteries but lacks overview of vascular territory provided by angiography. Co-registration of IVUS with angiographic images may provide the potential to navigate both imaging modalities in a synchronous manner. The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of co-registering both imaging modalities in the carotid vasculature of the neck.
METHODS
Fourteen patients with 15 cervical carotid artery lesions underwent angiography and subsequent treatment. In each case, an IVUS catheter was advanced to the target lesion and a reference angiography sequence was acquired. This was followed by an electrocardiography-triggered fluoroscopy sequence that was initiated upon IVUS catheter pullback. IVUS data collected during pullback were registered with fluoroscopy and evaluated for error and clinical usability.
RESULTS
A total of 32 landmarks were identified that demonstrated reasonable agreement during IVUS-angiography co-registration. There was a mean registration error distance of 3.36 mm (SD 2.82 mm) between targets. The longitudinal extent and severity of the disease through the target segment could be easily evaluated after co-registration.
CONCLUSION
Semiautomatic tracking and co-registration of angiography and IVUS is a new technology and has the potential to increase the use of IVUS in carotid disease and to proivde the opportunity to optimize procedural outcomes.
