Deep Learning-Based Reconstruction of Interventional Tools from Four X-Ray Projections for Tomographic Interventional Guidance [PDF]
Image guidance for minimally invasive interventions is usually performed by acquiring fluoroscopic images using a C-arm system. However, the projective data provide only limited information about the spatial structure and position of interventional tools such as stents, guide wires or coils.
