摘要:
A method of analyzing a tube system in particular by image processing of images of the tube system is provided by the present invention. In order to achieve a simulation of a medium flow through a calculated tube model, the present invention gathers a tube model from a specific tube data set. By defining the necessary parameters of a virtual injection of the medium by the user, the medium flows through the model. Using this displayed simulation for generating at least two images leads to an artificial image sequence that might support a person, which wants to examine a real structure, that corresponds to the calculated model. This might be seen in.

The invention relates to a light-emitting apparatus (100) comprising an optical waveguide, particularly an optical fiber (1), for guiding a primary light beam (Bprim) into a light-splitting unit (101) which splits it into two or more partial light beams (B1, B3, B4) which are emitted in different directions and have different optical qualities, e.g. different spectral compositions or polarizations. The apparatus may optionally comprise a detector (4) for determining a Doppler shift (Δλi) in reflected light reentering the light-splitting unit (101). This renders it possible to measure simultaneously two or more spatially independent vector components of the flow velocity of a fluid, particularly of blood, surrounding the light-splitting unit (101).

A system for generating an image including information of both an interior and an exterior of a patient. The system includes an X ray device for providing an X ray image of a patient's interior, and a camera responsive to a wavelength for providing a camera image of a patient's exterior. The camera may be supported by the X ray device for establishing a determined spatial relationship between the camera and the X ray device. The system further includes a spatial reference for spatially correlating the X ray image and the camera image, where the spatial reference is detectable in the X ray image and in the camera image. A data processor configured for rendering the camera image and the X ray image into a composite image on the basis of the spatial reference.

The present invention relates to the determination of brain deformation. The invention relates in particular to a device for tracking brain deformation, an imaging system for tracking brain deformation, a method for tracking brain deformation, a method of operating a device for tracking brain deformation, as well as to a computer program element and a computer readable medium. For providing enhanced information about the brain deformation, a first 3D representation (112) of a cerebrovascular vessel structure of a region of interest of an object is provided (110) and (114) a second 3D representation (116) of the cerebrovascular vessel structure. Then, at least a part of the first 3D representation is elastically three dimensionally registered (118) with at least a part of the second 3D representation. A deformation field (122) of the cerebrovascular vessel structure is determined (120) based on the elastic registration. The determined vessel deformation is applied (124) to a brain structure representation to determine a deformation (126) of the cerebral structure. For example, planning data (130) for an intervention of the cerebral structure is provided (132) and the determined deformation of the cerebral structure is applied (134) to the planning data to generate deformation adjusted planning data (136).

The invention provides a system (102) for accurately detecting a patient's (114) movement during imaging procedures. The system comprises a camera (126) for providing a stream of camera images of a part of a patient's exterior (206). The system (102) furthermore comprises a fiducial element (116), which fiducial element (116) is mountable on said part of the patient's exterior (206), and which fiducial element (116) is detectable in the stream of camera images, and an image processor (128) for detecting a displacement of the fiducial element based on consecutive camera images comprised in at least the stream of camera images and for generating an output signal (129) indicative for said displacement. Herein, the fiducial element (116) has an in-plane stiffness which is substantially larger than an in-plane stiffness of said part of the patient's exterior. In addition, the fiducial element (116) and said part of the patient's exterior are provided with substantially equal outer in-plane dimensions.

According to an exemplary embodiment a targeting method for targeting a first object from an entry point to a target point in an object (110) under examination is provided, wherein the method comprises selecting a two-dimensional image (301) of the object under examination depicting the entry point (305) and the target point (303) and determining a planned path (304) from the entry point to the target point, wherein the planned path has a first direction. Furthermore, the method comprises recording data representing a fluoroscopic image of the object under examination, wherein the fluoroscopic image is recorded under a second direction so that a normal of the image coincide with the first direction and determining whether the first object is on the determined planned path based on shape and/or position of the projection of the first object in the fluoroscopic image.
