A method for automatic unification of three-dimensional models of the coronary artery tree from biplane angiograms and three-dimensional models of the left ventricular epicardial surface from perfusion SPECT is introduced. The efficacy of the technique is evaluated using six swine models. The results are shown to be satisfactory in all cases.
