    摘要: The invention relates to a device and a process, with which images of different imaging methods can be registered, for example preoperatively obtained 3D X-ray images (A) and intra operatively obtained ultrasound images (B). First transformed images (A′,B′) are then generated in a data processing device (10), which are aligned to each other with regard to the peculiarities of each imaging method. Particularly from the three dimensional CT-image (A), can be generated a two dimensional image (A′) which adheres to the characteristic means of representation of an ultrasound system, while shaded areas behind bones and/or gas-filled volumes can be blended out. With a feature-based registration of the transformed images (A′, B′) errors are avoided, which are traced back to artifacts and peculiarities of the respective imaging methods.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device and a method for the determination of the position of a catheter in a vascular system (8). In this, the measured positions (r1, r2) of two magnetic localizers at the tip of a catheter are displaced by correction vectors (k1, k2) while optimizing a quality dimension. The quality dimension includes a component taking account both of the deviation of the measured positions (r1, r2) from the vascular layout and of the deviation of the associated orientation (r2−r1) from the orientation of the vascular layout according to a vascular map. In addition, the quality dimension may include components which evaluate the measured shape of the catheter compared to the vascular map. An additional correction step can further ensure that the corrected positions (r1′, r2″) correspond to the preset fixed distance (d) of the localizers (4, 5).

    摘要: A description is given of a method and a device for the calibration of an image pick-up device which is sensitive to magnetic fields and for the imaging by means of such an image pick-up device. The image pick-up device is notably an image intensifier in X-ray systems such as, for example, systems provided with a C-arm. Calibration is performed essentially by forming and storing a look-up table whereby a plurality of magnetic field data acting on the image pick-up device is associated with calibration data required for correcting the distortions caused thereby. During imaging, the magnetic field data acting on the image pick-up device during the formation of an image is measured and the calibration data associated with this magnetic field data in the table is read out and used for the correction of the acquired image.
