Abstract
The present invention relates to an image processing system for a catheter operation. One embodiment comprises: a storage unit for at least temporarily storing a plurality of candidate routes on which a guide wire can proceed on a changing route caused by vascular bifurcations while proceeding from a first point by using a blood vessel image; and a processor for selecting, from an image inputted while an operation proceeds, at least one route corresponding to the current shape of the guide wire on the basis of a similarity comparison between the current shape of the guide wire and each of the plurality of candidate routes.
