| contents | Dynamic coronary roadmapping is a technology that overlays the vessel maps (the "roadmap") extracted from an offline image sequence of X-ray angiography onto a live stream of X-ray fluoroscopy in real-time. It aims to offer navigational guidance for interventional surgeries without the need for repeated contrast agent injections, thereby reducing the risks associated with radiation exposure and kidney failure. The precision of the roadmaps is contingent upon the accurate alignment of angiographic and fluoroscopic images based on their cardiac phases, as well as precise catheter tip tracking. The former ensures the selection of a roadmap that closely matches the vessel shape in the current frame, while the latter uses catheter tips as reference points to adjust for translational motion between the roadmap and the present vessel tree. Training deep learning models for both tasks is challenging and underexplored. However, incorporating catheter features into the models could offer substantial benefits, given humans heavily rely on catheters to complete the tasks. To this end, we introduce a simple but effective method, auxiliary input in training (AIT), and demonstrate that it enhances model performance across both tasks, outperforming baseline methods in knowledge incorporation and transfer learning. |
