    摘要: A puncturing needle holder is attached to a flat-panel x-ray detector such that it is visible in the x-ray image as a point. The point can involve the crossing area of two struts, which are attached to the flat-panel x-ray detector. Mappings are created in which on the one hand a region of the body to be punctured and on the other hand the point created by the puncturing needle holder are mapped by the x-ray images created with the flat-panel x-ray detector. The x-ray C-arm is moved until such time as precisely the puncturing needle holder is shown in the mapping so that it points to the region of the body to be punctured. Subsequent puncturing can then be carried out in a number of different ways.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and a device for correcting motion in imaging during a medical intervention, by which method a 3D tomographic image of a target area for the intervention is first recorded while there are one or more medical instruments in the target area that will remain there during the intervention. During the intervention 2D fluoroscopic images of the target area are recorded and registered with the 3D image. The registration is therein adjusted for each 2D fluoroscopic image in realtime based in each case on the one or more instruments. The 2D fluoroscopic images are then in each case visualized with representations, concurring in terms of perspective, of the 3D image. Virtually error-free overlaying of the 3D image with in each case one 2D fluoroscopic image can be implemented using the present method and associated device.

    摘要: An apparatus detects fluorescence. The apparatus, also known as a fluorescence scanner, includes an image detector, which is embodied for detecting image data in the wavelength range of fluorescent light, and an excitation light source, which is embodied for generating light in a wavelength range suitable for exciting the fluorescence. The apparatus has a guide beam projector, which is embodied for generating a guide beam from light in the visible wavelength range. The guide beam is aimed such that a projection of the guide beam, a region that is detectable by the image detector is displayed. The guide beam allows exact viewing of a body region to be examined possible for the surgeon, which is not possible on the basis only of the light for exciting a fluorescence, at least whenever the excitation light is in the non-visible wavelength range, such as IR or NIR, or is generated directly during the recording of the fluorescence image.

    摘要: An angiographic examination method for depicting a target region as an examination object using an angiography system includes capturing a volume data set of the target region with the examination object, registering the volume data set to a C-arm, and extracting information about an assumed course of the examination object in the volume data set. The method also includes generating a 2D projection image of a medical instrument in the target region, 2D/3D merging the 2D projection image and the registered volume data set for generating a 2D overlay image, and detecting the instrument in the 2D overlay image with a first projection matrix. The method includes generating a virtual 2D projection using a virtual projection matrix, 3D reconstructing the instrument, and distorting at least part of the reference image such that the current and the assumed course of vessels are made to be congruent.

    摘要: In a method for a fluoroscopy controlled insertion of a stent into a curved aorta of a patient for aneurysm repair, a 3D volume image is obtained of the patient's aorta at the aneurysm. By knowing a registration of the 3D volume image to a C-arm of an angiographic system and projection geometry of the angiography system, the 3D volume images are projected atomically correct to a 2D fluoroscopy image of the angiography system. For the 2D3D overlay, the 3D volume image is displayed as a curved planar reconstruction in which the 2D fluoroscopy image and the 3D volume image are warped around a curved center line of the patient's curved aorta or around a curved guide instrument center line to correct for the curvature of the aorta so that the previously curved aorta center line or curved center line of the guide instrument turns into a straight line. The 2D3D overlay is used to visualize the insertion of the stent.
