Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides good insight into lumen boundary and plaques; however, it is still difficult to detect functionally significant stenosis from IVUS images for the guidance of coronary percutaneous intervention (PCI). This study aimed to develop a novel method to estimate fractional flow reserve (FFR) value for determining the functional significance of coronary artery disease through the fusion of IVUS and X-ray angiographic images.
