Abstract:
The invention relates to a medical investigation and/or treatment system comprising: a catheter system, comprising a catheter (1, 7, 9), with a first sensor (4, 11) of an imaging system for optical coherence tomography with an optical fiber via which the light is directed and is radiated in the area of a catheter tip introduced into an area to be investigated, via which fiber reflection light is directed from an illuminated investigation area to a first image processing unit (22), a second sensor (3, 8, 10) of an intravascular ultrasound imaging system to transmit and receive sound pulses which are fed as an electrical signal to a second image processing unit (23), und at least one display unit (24) for presenting the images of the first a nd second image processing unit (22, 23).
Abstract:
In a method and an apparatus for conducting a medical procedure on a number of patients respectively disposed at a number of different locations, a component of a medical device for implementing the medical procedure is moved along a pre-assembled track that extends to each of the locations. When the component is moved to the intended location by means of the track, the medical procedure is implemented at that location with the component retained on the track.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are used for training adjustment in sports, particularly in running sports, in which light is radiated into the body tissue of a test person by at least one light source, the light intensity reflected in the body tissue is measured via at least one light sensor, a temporally oscillating measurement quantity is derived from the measured light intensity via an evaluator, a minima in the time curve of the measurement quantity are determined, and a performance rating from which the current metabolic state of the test person can be read out is generated via analysis of a plurality of temporally successive minima and displayed.
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.
