    摘要: The invention relates to a method of position detection in X-ray imaging, and to a device for carrying out such a method by means of an X-ray apparatus, a detector device, including at least two detector elements, and an indicator device. The exact association of the X-ray image with the object imaged is very important notably for intraoperative imaging. Exact knowledge of the position and orientation of the components of the X-ray apparatus associated with the imaging system is required for this purpose. However, it is often problematic that the lines of sight of the position measuring system are obscured by attending staff or other apparatus. Therefore, in the device according to the invention the detector device is mounted on the X-ray apparatus and the indicator device is provided so as to be stationary on the object to be examined or stationary relative to the object to be examined. Also described is a method of position detection in X-ray imaging by means of such a device.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device and a method for correction of the position (x) of a field sensor (4) measured by means of a magnetic localization device. External field distortions, such as caused for example by the rotating components (1a, 1b) of a computer tomograph (1), are then determined with the help of reference sensor (3) placed at a known position. It is possible to deduce, for example, the current angle of rotation (Φ) of the computer tomograph (1) from the measurement signals of the reference sensor (3). Based on an empirically determined correction (δ(x, Φ)), the uncorrected determined positions (x) of the field sensor (4) can then be converted to corrected positions (x′) in relation to the field distortions. The field generator (2) and the reference sensor (3) are preferably fastened to the gantry in order to eliminate the dependency of the field distortions on an inclination of the gantry.

    摘要: In an X-ray examination device and a method for generating distortion-free X-ray images the imaging properties are calculated and distortions are corrected by providing at least one calibration member (7, 8) for forming a reference pattern; a correction unit (13) corrects the distortions in X-ray images on the basis of the pattern of the calibration members (7, 8) actually formed in the patient X-ray image (FIG. 4) and the calculated reference pattern.

    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for recording the movement, caused in particular by breathing, of organs of the body such as the heart (9) for example. A part (3) of the diaphragm (10) is recorded by means of an X-ray device or an ultrasound device and the current position of the diaphragm is detected in the resulting image. Information about the associated position of other internal organs can be obtained from the position of the diaphragm with the aid of a model. This information can in turn be used, in a navigation system for a catheter, to set the spatial coordinates of the latter relative to the vascular system.
