The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for graphically following movements of a medical instrument introduced into an object under examination, with a plurality of projection data sets being obtained from an x-ray beam passing through an examination area and delimited by a beam delimiting surface, in which a part of the medical instrument is guided, and with a three-dimensional image data set of the examination area being determined and represented graphically from the projection data sets. By determining three-dimensional image data sets successively with an image determination rate that is selected so that the movement of the medical instrument is able to be followed, the method and the apparatus can follow a moving medical instrument introduced into the examination area over the duration of a medical intervention and guarantee good accessibility to the object.

With a method for supporting an interventional medical operation, a 3-dimensional image data set is recorded before the method. A positioning system is coupled with the coordinates system of the 3-dimensional image data set. The instrument is positioned and the position of the instrument in the 3-dimensional image data set is determined as an instrument image data point 4. Two further target image data points are determined in the target region, in which the instrument is to be guided. A plane is defined in this way. In this plane, the image data is used for a 2-dimensional display. Both the instrument image data point and also the two target image data points can be identified on the display, so that the target region of an interventional operation and an interventional medical device are displayed on an image at the same time. The image can be tracked during the interventional medical operation.

The invention relates to an arrangement having a 3D device, the 3D device being embodied for acquiring an objects and generating a 3D acquisition result representing the object at least partially in at least three dimensions. The arrangement also has a 2D device, the 2D device being embodied for acquiring the object and generating a 2D acquisition result representing the object in at least two dimensions. The 2D acquisition result represents the object at least partially, in particular a top view of the object, a view through the object or a section through the objects. The invention is characterized in that the 3D devices and the 2D devices are connected to one another, mechanically electrically, in such a way that a part of the 3D acquisition result corresponding to an object location can be assigned to a part of the 2D acquisition result corresponding to the same object location.

The invention relates to a method for “truncation correction” in an x-ray system, i.e. a correction method during the reconstruction of projection images of an object recorded from different projection angles, if parts of the object do not lie in the field of view of each projection image. The surface of the object is thereby optically detected and used during the reconstruction of projection images to supplement the missing image data.

The present invention relates to a method for imaging using an image-generating, endoluminal instrument (1) by means of which a sequence of 2D image data of a hollow channel (2), in particular a vessel, of an object under investigation is recorded, wherein the images are recorded in a known temporal relation to a periodic movement of the object under investigation and spatial coordinates of the image are captured by means of a position sensor during each recording of an image (5) and stored as position data (9, 10) together with the 2D image data of the image (5). The method is characterized in that first position data (10) which does not lie in a predefinable movement phase of the object under investigation is corrected, before or after being stored, by interpolation between second position data (9) which does lie in the specified movement phase and/or by subtraction or addition of predetermined values. By means of the method a movement correction of the data can be performed without the need to reduce the volume of recorded image material.

In a method for mathematical compensation of a periodic movement of an organ in a first image-generation method used to image said organ, two time series of three-dimensional image data are acquired using gating, one by the first image-generation method and one by the second image-generation method, the image data that have been acquired by the second image-generation method being used to calculate motion fields which are applied for the compensation of the data from the time series which was acquired by the first image-generation method. The compensation encompasses the mathematical inclusion of motion fields and the mapping of the image data to a reference time. All the image data mapped back to the reference time are added together.

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for spatially displaying a region to be examined of an examination object, which has an x-ray emitter which can be rotated about the examination object in order to generate an x-ray beams and an x-ray detector which can be rotated about the examination object in order to record a part of the x-ray beam penetrating the examination object, with a facility having an opening for fading-in a split beam being arranged at a distance from the x-ray emitter. By being able to adjust the opening and/or the distance of the fade-in facility, a method and an apparatus can be provided, with which the radiation exposure for an examination object is reduced.

Method and apparatus for visually supporting an electrophysiological catheter application in the heart by means of bidirectional information transfer The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for visually supporting an electrophysiological catheter application in the heart. For the method, 3D image data of at least the heart, which is captured using a tomographic 3D imaging method prior to execution of the catheter application, and electroanatomical 3D mapping data of at least one area of the heart to be treated, which is captured during execution of the catheter application, is provided and the electroanatomical 3D mapping data and/or at least part of the 3D image data is displayed during execution of the catheter application. The method is characterized in that, in the electroanatomical 3D mapping data and/or the 3D image data, the contour of one or more areas (3) relevant to the catheter application is captured and transferred to the other system in each case on which the areas (3) are superimposed as a single polyline (5) in the representation (2, 4) of the electroanatomical 3D mapping data and/or 3D image data. The method proposed and the associated apparatus provide the user with a rapid overview of the areas relevant to the catheter application.

The invention relates to a method and a device for marking three-dimensional structures on two-dimensional projection images of an object, with which a position marker is determined on two projection images of the object recorded from different projection directions, from which the position of the position marker in the three-dimensional space is calculated so that further, subsequently recorded projection images can be displayed superimposed by the position marker.

The invention relates to a medical imaging system as well as a collision protection method for such a system. In this system the movement of a moveable part, e.g. a C-arm, is stopped or slowed down, if the part enters an individual protective zone enclosing the patient. This zone is calculated individually for each patient from the surface of the patient detected by an optical sensor.
