A method is provided to image an organ of the human or animal body using and acquisition device rotating over an angle, in that the rotation speed of the rotating acquisition device is modulated dependent on a reference signal that represents a current movement state of the organ to be imaged. Additionally or alternatively, the measurement interval in which the acquisition of the organ ensures during the rotation can respectively be adapted using the reference signal to a cycle duration of the movement of the organ to be imaged. Moreover, a corresponding apparatus to implement such a method is provided.

The present invention relates to a method and a device for recording X-ray images by means of a robotically controlled C-arm system which includes an image recording system (9, 10) that can be rotated in a recording plane around a turning center (17) by means of a C-arm (7) and with which, through rotating of the C-arm (7), a plurality of radioscopic images of a region (14) of interest in an object (13) positioned on an object positioning facility (15) are recorded at different rotation angles, from which images one or more cross-sectional images or a three-dimensional image of a region (14) in the object can be reconstructed. With the method, the C-arm (7) is compliantly repositioned in a collision-free manner in synchronism with the rotation such that the region (14) of interest in an object will, at least at each rotation angle at which image recording takes place, be located within a cone beam (16) of an X-ray bundle of the image recording system (9, 10). The method and associated robotically controlled recording device thus enable the three-dimensional image reconstruction also of regions located at the edge of the object's longitudinal center line.

The invention relates to a method and to a device for visualizing organs, in which a respective functional and anatomical magnetic resonance tomography image record of an organ are created, the anatomical magnetic resonance tomography image record containing visible landmarks and being registered with the functional magnetic resonance tomography image record. X-ray images of the organ are also taken which are then registered with the anatomical magnetic resonance tomography image record by using landmarks. The X-ray images and the images of the functional magnetic resonance tomography image record, which are registered with each other, can subsequently be displayed in a superimposed manner.

An intuitively manageable method for adjusting at least one parameter (X) that determines the image quality of an X-ray image produced by an X-ray device (1) is provided, wherein, on a user interface (18) of the X-ray device (1) a setting zone (25) for the parameter (X) is shown pictorially, and in relation to the setting zone (25) the current setting (Xact) of the parameter (X) is likewise shown pictorially. At least two sub-zones (32, 33, 34) of the setting zone (25) are differentiated from each other by color, wherein a first sub-zone (32) corresponds to a parameter-setting that guarantees good image quality and a second sub-zone (34) corresponds to a parameter-setting that is critical for the image quality.

In a computed tomography apparatus, and a method for operating same, for obtaining cardiac images, a spiral scan of a measurement volume containing a patient's heart is conducted, the production of the scanning data during the spiral scanning being synchronized with an ECG signal from the patient, in order to produce a graphic representation of the examination volume, and thus an image of the patient's heart. The ECG signal is employed to control the generation of the data during the spiral scanning at phase of the cardiac cycle wherein minimum movement of the heart takes place. The chronological correlation between the recording of the scanning data and the ECG signal is fixed, so that within each number of successive time intervals, a dataset is obtained completely within that time interval. The datasets from the successive time intervals are then combined to produce an image of the heart. Since the component images are all obtained in a low-motion phase of the heart, the resulting overall image is particularly sharp.

The invention relates to a method and a device for making correction information for correcting a guidance direction of an instrument. Based on a current position of the tip of the instrument and the current guidance direction of the instrument and the position of a target point in an object, a first straight line indicating the current guidance direction and a second straight line defined by the tip of the instrument and the target point in the object are determined. The second straight line intersects the first straight line and indicates the desired guidance direction. Based on the position of the first and second straight lines relative to one another, a digital item of correction information is specified, wherein the correction image has a correction diagram located in a plane in the perspective of the current guidance direction of the instrument.

A computer receives a plurality of two-dimensional fluoroscopy images of an examination object, capture time points and projection parameters and combines the images into image groups. Each image group contains all the images, the capture time point of which is between a minimum and a maximum time point specific to the respective image group. When the image groups are sorted by ascending minimum time points, the corresponding maximum time points form a strictly monotonously ascending order. The respective minimum and maximum time points are determined so that the computer reconstructs a three-dimensional object reconstruction of the examination object based on the images assigned to the respective image group. A respective two-dimensional reconstruction display is determined by the respective three-dimensional object reconstruction and outputted to a user in a coding specific to the respective image group by a display device.

A method for guiding stent deployment during an endovascular procedure includes providing a virtual stent model of a real stent that specifies a length, diameter, shape, and placement of the real stent. The method further includes projecting the virtual stent model onto a 2-dimensional (2D) DSA image of a target lesion, manipulating a stent deployment mechanism to navigate the stent to the target lesion while simultaneously acquiring real-time 2D fluoroscopic images of the stent navigation, and overlaying each fluoroscopic image on the 2D DSA image having the projected virtual stent model image, where the 2D fluoroscopic images are acquired from a C-arm mounted X-ray apparatus, and updating the projection of the virtual stent model onto the fluoroscopic images whenever a new fluoroscopic image is acquired or whenever the C-arm is moved, where the stent is aligned with the virtual stent model by aligning stent end markers with virtual end markers.
