Publication number: 20130013278Abstract: A non-invasive cardiovascular image matching method is revealed. First, a scanning unit scans a heart/blood vessel to get an image of the heart/blood vessel and sends the image to a computer. Then the computer constructs a first 3D model of the heart/blood vessel according to the image of the heart/blood vessel.
