摘要:
A method for positioning a stent able to be deployed to support a vessel in a blood vessel, especially in the cardiology, with the stent after its provisional placement in a not yet deployed state in an area intended for the support of the vessel, being at least partly automatically deployed as a function of at least one triggering signal for final positioning in the blood vessel.
摘要:
A system and method for obtaining perfusion images is disclosed. The system and method includes hardware and software for determining physiological characteristics of a patient and determining imaging parameter values for an imaging modality based on the patient's physiological characteristics. The system also includes a controller operative to receive the imaging parameter values for controlling an X-ray device. The X-ray device is coupled with the controller and acquires projection images of the patient, and outputs the projection images to a perfusion evaluation computer for evaluating the perfusion of an region of interest represented in the projection images. The perfusion rate of the region of interest is then output to an output device, such as a display or printer.

摘要:
The invention relates to a medical examination and/or treatment apparatus comprising an x-ray image recording device, a radiation source, a radiation receiver, a control and processing device and an image generating device, wherein at least one invasive sensor device with an imaging system can be connected to the medical examination and/or treatment apparatus via a multi-modality interface which is implemented as a universal interface via which different invasive sensor devices can be connected.

A method of optimized diagnosis and treatment of suspected myocardial infarctions is described. The patient having possible coronary artery disease is transferred to a treatment room with an imaging modality suitable for obtaining computed tomographic (CT)-like images. Such images are obtained as radiographic image data, with or without contrast agent, and used in the medical diagnosis. If minimally invasive therapy such as percutaneous transluminal coronal angioplasty (PTCA) is indicated, the patient is prepared for the procedure in the same room, and the procedure performed, where the imaging modality is used to obtain fluoroscopic images to guide the PTCA procedure, or to assess the results of the procedure. The imaging modality may be mounted to a first positioning robot, and a second robot may facilitate the positioning or movement of the patient.

The invention relates to an arrangement for assisting a percutaneous intervention, comprising an imaging system for tomographic imaging, a robot registered therewith and devices for capturing movements of the patient. A processing unit registers a 4D image dataset recorded before the intervention with a 2D or 3D image dataset of the patient which was recorded immediately before the intervention by the imaging system at a defined respiratory position. From this image data, the access path is transmitted to the robot as a function of the movements captured during recording the 4D image dataset and registration, said robot in turn, depending on the instantaneous movement data, holding the instrument on a predetermined target path and preventing the instrument from being advanced by the person if and as long as the instantaneous movement data does not match the previously recorded movement data. The arrangement reduces the risk of puncture errors.

摘要:
A method and appertaining system permit a co-registration between points in a three-dimensional model of a vessel and vascular images obtained by an imaging catheter within the vessel at the respective points. The three-dimensional model is created by utilizing information from at least two external two-dimensional images produced by, e.g., one or more x-ray devices. The three-dimensional model is displayed on an analysis workstation, and a user may view the vascular images at particular points by selecting the appertaining points on the three-dimensional model.
