Abstract:
A system, method and workflow is described that may be used for the treatment of a patient having a cardiac syndrome characterized by an unwanted aperture in a structure of the heart. Images of the patient are obtained with a C-arm X-ray device, and the images are used to determine the size and location of the aperture. A catheter is used to insert an occluder into the patient and emplace the occluder in the aperture so as to close the aperture. The occluder may be guided using one of fluoroscopic images from the C-arm X-ray device, acoustic or magnetic sensors. Diagnosis of the syndrome and the minimally interventional treatment may be performed by the same treatment suite.
Abstract:
A recording arrangement of an x-ray system comprises an x-ray source and an x-ray detector. Adjustment parameters can be manually supplied to the recording arrangement by an operator of the x-ray system, so that the x-ray source emits x-rays according to the manually given adjustment parameters and the x-ray detector accordingly acquires a sequence of images of an object. The manually supplied adjustment parameters can be automatically acquired by an acquisition device and stored in a remanent memory at least temporarily assigned to the acquisition device and remain stored after the completion of the acquisition of the sequence independently of a further operation of the x-ray system. The stored adjustment parameters can be retrieved from the remanent memory by the operator and supplied again to the recording arrangement so that a further sequence of images can be acquired according to the retrieved adjustment parameters.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for covering a surface of a support that is mounted on a frame. Said device comprises a first means for delivering a cover that is embodied in the form of a textile web to the support surface as well as a second means for receiving the cover. A section of the cover extending between the first and the second means is guided over the support surface while the first and the second means are mounted below a level defined by the support surface.
Abstract:
There is described an x-ray system with an x-ray source, an x-ray detector and at least one industrial robot having at least three, in particular six, axes of rotation, in which the x-ray source and/or the x-ray detector are/is arranged, directly or by means of a bearer, on the industrial robot, and where the industrial robot is constructed to be mobile, in particular is arranged on a device trolley.
Abstract:
There is described a radiotherapy device having an integrated unit composed of a therapeutic radiation unit for treating an area of a body of a patient and an image recording apparatus for recording images of the area of the body using an element configured as a radiation source and an element configured as a radiation detector. To generate images for a reliable identification and precise localization of a tumor and consequently achieve good patient accessibility the image recording apparatus comprises an angiography CT.
Abstract:
Device for performing laser angioplasty, in which laser light is beamed via a laser radiation device in the area of a catheter tip, with simultaneous OCT monitoring, for the ablation of plaque. The feed lines for the laser radiation device and the rotating OCT signal lines are disposed in a common catheter sheath, said feed lines leading to an OCT sensor disposed within a ring-shaped window running around the circumference of the catheter sheath, said OCT sensor being disposed at a distance from the laser radiation device.
Abstract:
An economical X-ray apparatus that allows a rapid exposure of comparatively large-format digital X-ray images has an exposure unit, with which a predetermined surface segment of an exposure plane can be exposed with X-ray radiation, and a digital X-ray detector that is moved in the exposure plane, with the X-ray detector being continuously periodically driven.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a catheter device for treating a blockage of a vessel, with the catheter device featuring a treatment catheter for treating the vessel blockage which is embodied as an integrated unit with front-mounted stent.
Abstract:
Device for carrying out rotablation, comprising a rotablation catheter, an OCT sensor, an IVUS sensor, position sensors and also an image processing unit, which is embodied for the creation of combined 2D or 3D images based on the data of the sensors.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a Dental examination or treatment tool. the tool comprises at least one lumen in which at least one imaging catheter is or can be accommodated for recording image data of an examination or treatment area.
