    Abstract: A method and a device for visually assisting a catheter application on the heart of a patient using an image of the patient obtained by a C-arm X-ray device and using electroanatomical mapping data of the patient obtained by an electromagnetic position detection system and mapping system. The C-arm X-ray device and the electromagnetic position detection system and mapping system are calibrated in relation to each other, by determining a co-ordinate transformation between a co-ordinate system assigned to the C-arm x-ray device and/or a co-ordinate system assigned to the image generated by the C-arm X-ray device and a co-ordinate system assigned to the electromagnetic position detection system and mapping system. The position of the patient is determined during the detection of the image and/or during the detection of the electroanatomic mapping-data and is at least indirectly assigned to the image and/or the electroanatomic mapping-data.

    Abstract: The device according to the invention ensures accurate and in particular sensitive navigation of the probe, which can be inserted into a body, despite the fact that the remote control uses simple means, by means of a movement (MR;MB;MP) corresponding intuitively to the navigation of a probe using the control device (1). Intuitive operation can be converted in particular using an inventive U-shaped embodiment of the control device (1). Sensitive controllability can be increased by transmitting the mechanical interaction between the probe and an environment under examination to the control device (1) and thus directly to the operating hand (3) by means of inventive feedback.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method, and system (1) for implementing same, to compensate for patient motion in series recordings in medical imaging, in which a plurality of images of an examination area of a patient (17) are recorded at time intervals with an imaging system (1) and related to each other. Before the start of the series recordings a 3D image data set is recorded by a 3D recording of the examination area, which establishes a reference system. A first spatial position of the examination area in the reference system is obtained by recording a first image of the series recordings and then registering it or by calculating it. Each further image of the series recordings is registered immediately after recording to obtain the current spatial position of the examination area. Differences in spatial position are compensated for at least approximately by changing geometric relationships of the imaging system (1).

    Abstract: Method for the provision and use of configuration files for configuring technical devices.The present invention relates to a method for the provision and use of configuration files containing essential configuration data for configuring technical devices. With the method the configuration data is uploaded by one or more participants in the method via a network onto a server and downloaded by users of the technical devices as configuration files from the server via the network. When a configuration file is downloaded by a user or when a downloaded configuration file is used by a user to configure a technical device, the participant who uploaded the configuration data of the downloaded or used configuration file onto the server receives a reimbursement. The present method simplifies the configuration of units for the users of technical devices and represents an incentive for experienced users to make the configurations they have created themselves also available to other users.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the position of an instrument in a structure of an object with an x-ray system, in which a 3D image data record is provided for at least one area of the object relevant for determining the position, the x-ray system is registered with the 3D image data record, after the introduction of the instrument into the structure at least one 2D x-ray image of the relevant area is recorded from at least one direction of projection with a known projection geometry with the x-ray system and a 2D position of a first location of the instrument is recorded in the 2D x-ray image. In the method a projection line in accordance with the known projection geometry is placed through the 3D image data record at the 2D position and a 3D position of the first location of the instrument in the 3D image data record is determined from an intersection of the projection line with the structure. The method enables the 3D position to be determined with a simple monoplanar x-ray system.

    Abstract: A system and method of treating tachycardias and similar syndromes by the use of catheter ablation of tissue is described. A computed tomography (CT)-like image of the heart is obtained and processed to segment the various types of tissue. Papillary muscle areas are identified and displayed differently from the other nearby tissues so that the muscles can be avoided during treatment to avoid or minimize damage to the muscles during ablation treatment. Electrophysical data and scar tissue may also be identified in the image, which may be of the endoscopic type. The position of the catheter may be displayed as a synthetic image on the endoscopic view.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for registration of a sequence of 2D image data (5) of a hollow channel (2), in particular of a vessel, recorded with an imaging endoluminal instrument (1) when the relative displacement positions of the instrument (1) in the hollow channel (2) are known, with 3D image data (8) of the hollow channel (2). In the method a three-dimensional path of a central axis (10) of a definable section of the hollow channel (2) is determined from the 3D image data (8), the three-dimensional path of the central axis (10) is converted into a rectilinear path by a first transformation of the 3D image data (8) of the definable section of the hollow channel (2) and transformation parameters required for the first transformation are stored. A combined 3D image data record (11) is generated from the sequence of 2D image data (5) by a parallel side-by-side arrangement on a central straight line in accordance with the known relative displacement positions, and is first registered with the transformed 3D image data (9) by equating the central straight line with the rectilinear path of the central axis (10) and suitable translation for superposition of a shared reference point. The combined 3D image data record (11) or 2D image data (5) contained therein is then registered with the 3D image data (3), taking into account the stored transformation parameters.
