摘要： The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for recording the movement, caused in particular by breathing, of organs of the body such as the heart (9) for example. A part (3) of the diaphragm (10) is recorded by means of an X-ray device or an ultrasound device and the current position of the diaphragm is detected in the resulting image. Information about the associated position of other internal organs can be obtained from the position of the diaphragm with the aid of a model. This information can in turn be used, in a navigation system for a catheter, to set the spatial coordinates of the latter relative to the vascular system.

摘要： The invention relates to an X-ray apparatus having a C-arm assembly (1) on which an X-ray source (4) and an X-ray detector (5) are arranged opposite one another, the C-arm assembly (1) being arranged to be rotatable about a propeller axis (9) and an axis of rotation (11). To enable calibration to take place even on-line during the acquisition of projected data, respective marker arrangements (14, 15) are mounted on the X-ray source (4) and the X-ray detector (5), and a camera arrangement (12) for detecting the marker arrangements (14, 15) is arranged on the C-arm assembly (1) to allow the positions of the X-ray source (4) and the X-ray detector (5) to be determined. With this arrangement, the problem of the blocking of lines of sight between the marker arrangements (14, 15) and the camera arrangement (12) is reduced or completely avoided.

摘要： An X-ray imaging method forms a set of a plurality of two-dimensional X-Ray projection images of a medical or veterinary object to be examined through a scanning rotation by an X-Ray source viz à viz the object. Such X-Ray images are acquired at respective predetermined time instants with respect to a functionality process produced by the object. From said set of X-Ray projection images by back-projection a three-dimensional volume image of the object is reconstructed. In particular, an appropriate motion correction is derived for the respective two-dimensional images, and subsequently as based on a motion vector field from the various corrected two-dimensional images the intended three-dimensional volume is reconstructed.

摘要： The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for the intravascular or intracardial navigation of a catheter (5). Using an X-ray fluoroscopy device (1), firstly an image database of 2D images is generated, where at the same time as each 2D image (I) is taken the associated heartbeat phase is recorded using an ECG (8). During the catheter intervention, the position of the catheter (5) is measured by means of a position measurement unit (6), and at the same time the ECG and preferably also a signal that is dependent on the breathing movement are recorded. The current spatial position of the catheter (5) that is measured is then assigned the 2D image of the image database which corresponds in terms of the heartbeat phase and also possibly in terms of the breathing phase, on which image the position of the catheter can be represented.

摘要： A device for determining the position of a medical instrument that is introduced into an object to be examined is also used for imaging the vicinity of the medical instrument. In order to enable the acquisition of instantaneous position information and image information from the vicinity of the medical instrument for all kinds of medical instruments, a localization device that is arranged in the end zone of the medical instrument that is to be introduced determines the position of the medical instrument within the object to be examined; at the same time image information is acquired in the vicinity of the medical instrument by an image acquisition device that is arranged on the medical instrument and on the basis of the position thus determined the position of the medical instrument (3) is reproduced in a survey image of the object to be examined and images of the vicinity of the object to be examined are displayed on the basis of the image information acquired.

摘要： A C-arm X-ray system is disclosed which includes an X-ray source, an X-ray detector and a support C-arm mechanism including an outer and inner C-arm. The X-ray source and the X-ray detector are oppositely disposed on the inner C-arm. The inner C-arm is suspended upon at least one wheel construction disposed in the support C-arm. The inner C-arm may be automatically driven annularly outside of a first end of the C-arm support and into a second end of the C-arm support to close a gap normally found in conventional C-arm X-ray devices. Such construction allows the X-ray source and X-ray detector to rotate at least one full 360 degree cycle, providing an C-arm X-ray device capable of performing both fluoroscopic and CT procedures without a need to move a patient under examination (i.e., monitoring the patient in a common frame of reference for both applications).

摘要： An X-ray device for the formation of slice images of an object to be examined including an X-ray source, an X-ray detector, a transport device for moving the object during the acquisition of a series of X-ray projection images of the object in a movement plane situated parallel to the imaging plane, and a control device for controlling the acquisition of the X-ray projection images and the transport device. Slice images of the object are formed from the X-ray projection images by a tomosynthesis method. In order to enable the formation of slice images of large objects to be examined, or of large parts thereof, within a period of time which is as short as possible, the X-ray source and the X-ray detector are stationary during the acquisition of the X-ray projection images and the control device is configured such that the speed of motion of the object and the moments of acquisition of the X-ray projection images are such that all points to be examined in an examination zone of the object are imaged in at least 10, but preferably in at least 50 different X-ray projection images.
