    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A catheter having ultrasound capability and a distal end extending along a longitudinal axis, the end being situated adjacent to a tissue of interest inside of a patient; at least one ultrasound transducer located in the end to direct ultrasound waves along the axis in a generally forward direction relative to the end; a variable-focus lens system located in the end, downstream of the transducer in the generally forward direction, the lens system being capable of variably focusing the ultrasound waves emitted by the transducer at various positions downstream of the lens and catheter end; optionally, a mirror located in the end, downstream of the transducer and the lens system in the generally forward direction, whereby the emitted ultrasound waves from the lens system are either reflected from the mirror and focused at a position substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; or the emitted ultrasound waves from the lens system substantially bypass the mirror in unreflected form and are focused at a position downstream of the transducer, the lens system and the mirror in the generally forward direction along the longitudinal axis; and imaging means for translating the focused ultrasound waves from the lens system reflected and/or unreflected by the mirror into three-dimensional images and communicating the images in viewable form to a human operator that is external to the patient. A method of measuring, imaging and viewing blood flow velocity and patterns in a blood vessel and aneurysm, as well as monitoring vaso-occlusive coil placement in an aneurysm during a surgical intervention using the catheter, is also disclosed.
