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.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
In a method for accurately delivering a therapeutic agent to a target area of an organ of a living subject, such as for injecting stem cells into the myocardium of the heart, a 3D image, in which the target area and a delivery path thereto are visible, is obtained prior to delivery of the therapeutic agent. The 3D image is displayed, and a catheter is introduced into the subject and a real time positional indication of the catheter in the subject is obtained and incorporated into the displayed image, providing visual support for guiding the catheter to the target area. When the catheter is at the target area, the therapeutic agent is injected into the target area via the catheter. The distribution of the injected therapeutic agent relative to the target area is then monitored in the displayed image.

摘要:
A method for the merged display of first image information captured using a first imaging device with second image information captured using a second imaging device is provided. The first imaging device records fluorescence images of the area under examination. A second 3D image data record of the area under examination is recorded using an examination procedure based on electromagnetic radiation, such as computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The 3D fluorescence image data record and the second 3D image data record are registered with one another, and one or more fluorescence-optically marked, relevant areas of the examination volume, on the basis of the mapping rules determined by the registration process, are displayed on a monitor.
摘要:
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.
