Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
Device for recording electrophysiological signals and for displaying the signals or signal information elements which are derived therefrom, comprising a catheter which includes a plurality of electrodes arranged in a distributed manner for signal recording and a rendition device for displaying the signals or the individual signal information elements which relate to the respective electrodes and are derived from the signals, wherein the signals or the signal information elements can be displayed in a display which is modeled on the geometric arrangement of the electrodes at the catheter or on the geometric arrangement of the electrodes during the signal recording.
Abstract:
In a method for representing preoperatively recorded three-dimentional image data when recording two-dimentional X-ray images, parameters for recording the two-dimentional X-ray images are placed in relation to two-dimentional representations of the three-dimentional image data and coupled thereto. When paraneters for recording the two-dimentional X-ray images change, corresponding two-dimentional representations of the three-dimentional image data are shown on a screen.
Abstract:
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:
In a method for the intraoperative generating of an updated volume dataset, a first volume dataset is reconstructed from a series of n 2D X-ray projections (of a patient that are acquired at different angles. During a medical intervention, m 2D X-ray projections (m
Abstract:
Device for determining the relative position of two or more catheters in the human body, there being disposed on each catheter (4, 5), preferably in the area of the catheter tip, at least one measuring electrode (ME1-ME8; ME9, ME10) which can be connected to a voltage source together with one or more measuring electrodes of a further catheter, wherein the resistance between the measuring electrodes, and hence the distance of the measuring electrodes, can be determined via a current measurement.

Abstract:
In a method and operating system for conducting a surgical intervention, respective position sensors are mounted at a laparoscope and a surgical instrument used to conduct the intervention, and a navigation system is supplied with orientation information from these position sensors. Based on this orientation information, the navigation system automatically controls a robot arm, to which the laparoscope is mounted, to always maintain the surgical instrument in the field of view of the laparoscope.
Abstract:
In a medical treatment/examination device and method for the acquisition and presentation of a medical instrument introduced into a cavity organ of a patient to be examined or treated, particularly in the framework of a cardial examination or treatment with a catheter, intracorporeal registration of 2D ultrasound images of the cavity organ is undertaken using a catheter-like ultrasound acquisition device guided into the cavity organ with simultaneous acquisition of the spatial position and orientation of a 2D ultrasound image by a position acquisition system, a 3D ultrasound image dataset is generated from the 2D ultrasound image, following introduction of the instrument, the instrument is acquired in a coordinate system registered with the 3D ultrasound image dataset, and a 3D reconstruction image is generated on the basis of the 3D image dataset and is presented at a monitor, containing a positionally exact presentation of the instrument in the 3D reconstruction image.
Abstract:
In an apparatus and method for cardiological ablation an endoscope with an integrated optical camera and an instrument access channel is guided in a patient by an endoscope control and processing device and an endoscope visualization device, and an RF ablation wire is actively navigated by means of a magnetic navigation system into the instrument access channel.
Abstract:
Medical examination and/or treatment system having a catheter (1) with a sensor (3, 4) connected to an image recording system, said sensor being connected to an image processing unit (24, 25) for evaluating the sensor signals recorded in an examination area, a display unit (26) for displaying the images (12) of the image processing unit (24, 25) and a means for detecting the position and/or orientation of the catheter tip, whereby the system has means for generating three-dimensional images from the two-dimensional images (12) of the image recording system based on the detected position and/or direction of the catheter tip.
