摘要:
To make interventional instruments such as catheters more easily identifiable in X-ray images, the catheters are provided with marking elements which can be recognized in the X-ray image. Examples of marking elements are sphere-shaped and ring-shaped marking elements, the ring-shaped marking elements being able to identify the catheters in the manner of a barcode and so being able to make different catheters distinguishable from one another in the X-ray image.

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.

The invention relates to a method and a device for the combined representation of a series of 2D fluoroscopic images of the beating heart with a static 3D image data set of the same heart. The fluoroscopic images are registered with the 3D image data set and from this a 2D pseudo-projection on to the image plane of each fluoroscopic image generated in each case. This is then represented with the associated fluoroscopic image overlaid. The method is characterized in that the pseudo-projection is represented differently in each case or is not represented depending on the interval of the cardiac phase of the currently represented fluoroscopic image relative to the cardiac phase of the 3D image data set.

The invention relates to a mapping catheter for determination of data of an area of an organ embodied as a flat surface, especially of the heart, to be presented graphically, with at least one thermosensor essentially aligned in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the mapping catheter for determination of temperature-related data which is arranged at a tip of the mapping catheter being provided in the distal area of the mapping catheter for introduction into the organ.

To visually support a catheter ablation in the heart, three-dimensional image data have been used prior to the intervention. During ablation, the position of the catheter is pinpointed by an orientation system. The orientation system acquires electroanatomical 3D mapping data. The two-dimensional image data is assigned to the 3D mapping data in the correct position and dimensions which is a time-consuming step. The invention makes provision for the orientation system being in a fixed location relative to the X-ray system so that a positionally and dimensionally correct alignment of the X-ray image data set with the 3D mapping data is no longer required. An image or surface based 3D-3D alignment of the three-dimensional data acquired prior to the intervention with the three-dimensional X-ray image data is considerably less time-consuming than alignment thereof with the 3D mapping data and is more reliable because more structures is recognized in the three-dimensional X-ray image data.

The present invention relates to a device and a method for synchronizing an image capture device with a first image data set. The image capture device is used for recording a second image data set of a periodically moving area or object. Each first image data set contains information as to the point in time, relative to the periodically moving area or object, when recording took place. The device additionally acquires periodically recurring, current information of the area as well as information concerning the recording instant of the first image data set. From the periodically recurring information and the recording instant of the first image data set, a triggering instant is derived which controls at least one recording of the second image data set by the image capture device in such a way that the second image data set contains image data synchronized to the first image data set.
摘要:
An operating method for a polyplanar imaging system for time-resolved imaging of an object is provided. First and second data records are recorded at a fan angle β from different angular positions by a first and second imaging planes arranged at an offset angle γ relative to each other and swiveled through an angle of at least φ=180°+β. A third data record is created by selecting projection images from the first data record beginning from a starting angle α and from the second data record so that the third data record covers an angular range of at least φ. Three-dimensional images are reconstructed based on the third data record. The starting angle α is varied for continuously creating the third data record until α has attained its final value. The contrast of projection images in the third data record or of three-dimensional images is evaluated.

Medical treatment device with an ablation catheter and a visualization device for joint display of the ablation catheter and the anatomy of a part of a patient's body to be treated, whereby the visualization device is embodied for detection of areas of risk of the part of the body to be treated and for displaying the areas of risk jointly with the ablation catheter and the anatomy.
摘要:
To determine the position and orientation of an object in a x-ray image the x-ray image is initially pre-processed. A three-dimensional template (data record) of the object based on the known constructional features of the object is created. Three parameters for the position and for the orientation respectively are modified iteratively. The three-dimensional template with the parameters for position and orientation is projected in each case onto a two-dimensional plane and the created image is compared on the basis of the generation of a degree of similarity with the pre-processed x-ray image.
