Abstract:
An interventional system includes an introduction element (4) such as a catheter for being introduced into an object (9), for instance, a person. A moving unit (2) such as a robot moves the introduction element within the object. A tracking image generating unit (3) generates, using a radiation beam (7), tracking images of the introduction element within the object. A controller (8) controls the tracking image generating unit depending on movement parameters of the moving unit, which are indicative of the movement. The control operation of the controller (8) allows reducing radiation dose applied to the object.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a spatial dimension determination device for determining a spatial dimension of a target element like a vessel within an object (9), for instance, within a person. Movement parameters describing a movement of an introduction element (4) moved by a moving unit (2) like a robot and several images showing the introduction element are used for determining a dimensional relation between an image dimension and a real dimension. A further image showing the target element is provided, wherein a real dimension of the target element is determined based on an image dimension of the target element in the further image and based on the determined dimensional relation. An unknown real physical dimension of a target element within the object can therefore accurately be determined from an image of the target element by using, inter alia, the movement parameters.

Abstract:
An interactive holographic display system includes a holographic generation module configured to display a holographically rendered anatomical image. A localization system is configured to define a monitored space on or around the holographically rendered anatomical image. One or more monitored objects have their position and orientation monitored by the localization system such that coincidence of spatial points between the monitored space and the one or more monitored objects triggers a response in the holographically rendered anatomical image.
