    摘要: A connection assembly between a spinal implant rod and a vertebral anchor. The assembly has a split ring, a clamp, a collet and optionally a nut. The split ring is located inside the clamp and the collet is inserted through each of the clamp's arms. In use, the spinal implant rod is placed inside the split ring and the shaft or shank of the vertebral anchor is placed inside the collet. Drawing the arms of the clamp together then tightens the connection assembly, which closes the collet around the vertebral anchor and closes the split ring around the implant rod. Threading a nut on one end of the collet or directly threading the collet into one of the arms of the clamp tightens the assembly.

    摘要: A method is arranged to segment a surface in a multi-dimensional dataset comprising a plurality of images. Data processing and data acquisition steps can be temporally or geographically distanced, so that the results of a suitable data segmentation are accessed. Next, suitable plurality of image features resembling possible spatial positions of the surface conceived to be segmented are selected and accessed. The features are subsequently matched for all image portions, whereby for each feature a matching error is assigned. A pre-defined selectivity factor is accessed defining a maximum allowable variable fraction of the features having largest matching errors which can be discarded. The segmentation of the sought surface is performed, whereby the discarded features are not taken into account for evaluating the quality of fit of a candidate deformation. The resulting surface is displayed on a suitable display means.

    摘要: A method for creating a model of a part of the anatomy from the scan data of several subjects is described. The method comprises the steps of collecting scan data; applying a feature detector to the scan data; converted the output of the feature detector into a common reference system; and accumulating the converted data to generate the model. It is therefore possible for the method to generate a model from the scan data of several subjects automatically. The method may also include an optional step of receiving user input to select which of the accumulated data should be included in the final model. This user input requires much less effort than manual contouring and is substantially independent of the number of subjects used to create the model.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for the computer-assisted visualization of a three-dimensional anatomical object, wherein firstly two or more diagnostic image data records (1, 3, 4, 5) of the object are recorded. Thereafter, an imaging specification is defined for imaging the image data (1, 3, 4, 5) onto a two-dimensional display plane (8), wherein in order to define the imaging specification anatomical features (2) of the object are identified in at least one of the image data records (1). Finally, a combined two-dimensional representation is calculated by imaging the two or more image data records (1, 3, 4, 5) according to the previously defined imaging specification onto a common display plane (8).

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for the computer-aided reconstruction of a three-dimensional anatomical object (3) from diagnostic image data. First of all, a diagnostic image data set of the object (3) is acquired. Then a seed point (5) is set, starting from which the object is reconstructed within a reconstruction volume (4). Thereafter, an adjacent point of the reconstruction volume (4) likewise belonging to the object (3) is located in accordance with a propagation criterion, which is calculated by means of a mathematical analysis of local areas (6, 7), assigned to the point concerned, of the image data set Reconstruction of the three-dimensional structure of the object (3) is then performed within the reconstruction volume (4) by multiple repetition of this method step and propagation along the located adjacent points. To apply such a reconstruction method to image data obtained by means of rotational X-ray imaging, wherein a plurality of two-dimensional projection images (1, 2) are recorded from different projection directions, the invention proposes that the propagation criterion be calculated by subjecting the local image areas (6, 7) of the two-dimensional projection images (1, 2) in each case individually to the mathematical analysis.
