In an image post-processing method and apparatus for 3D visualization of 2D/3D fused image data for use in catheter angiography in an endovascular interventional procedure, upon forward movement of a micro-catheter through blood vessel in the interventional procedure, x-ray images are acquired from different projection directions and are subjected to a pattern recognition algorithm for edge-based segmentation of the image regions filled by the micro-catheter, with all remaining image regions being masked out. The segmented projection exposures are prepared by a 3D reconstruction algorithm to obtain an image data set for (pseudo-) three-dimensional representation of the micro-catheter. This image data set are intraoperatively registered and fused with an image data set acquired from an angiographic pre-examination for three-dimensional visualization of the vessel topography. The reconstructed 3D representation of the catheter is mixed into the three-dimensionally prepared representation of endovascular blood vessel sections to be treated.

In a method for marker-less navigation of a medical instrument in preoperative 3D images using an intraoperatively acquired 3D C-arm image, an intraoperative 3D Image is acquired with a C-arm system, the medical instrument brought into registration with regard to the intraoperative 3D image D, whereby a registration matrix MDN is obtained. The intraoperative 3D image is brought into registration with regard to an existing preoperative 3D image by means of image-based registration, whereby a registration matrix is obtained. Navigation of the medical instrument in the preoperative 3D image can then proceed.
摘要:
To intraoperatively generate an updated volume data set in which a image information of biological tissue is volume data set representing reconstructed from a series of n 2D biological tissue x-ray projections, one version, in intraoperatively acquired m 2D biological tissue x-ray projections the biological tissue 2D contour is segmented and this is back-projected in the reconstructed volume data set. In another version, in the volume data set the biological tissue 3D contour is segmented and this is projected in intraoperatively acquired m biological tissue 2D x-ray projections. The 3D contour is visually repositioned by projection in the m 2D x-ray projections in the volume data set, until its projection is substantially congruent with the biological tissue image information in the respective 2D x-ray projections. In both versions, a volume data set updated around the intraoperatively determined biological tissue 3D contour is generated.

In a method and apparatus for the automatic merging of 2D fluoroscopic C-arm images with preoperative 3D images with a one-time use of navigation markers, markers in a marker-containing preoperative 3D image are registered relative to a navigation system, a tool plate fixed on the C-arm system is registered in a reference position relative to the navigation system, a 2D C-arm image (2D fluoroscopic image) that contains the image of at least a medical instrument is obtained in an arbitrary C-arm position, a projection matrix for a 2D-3D merge is determined on the basis of the tool plate and the reference position relative to the navigation system, and the 2D fluoroscopic image is superimposed with the 3D image on the basis of the projection matrix.

摘要:
An apparatus for determining a coordinate transformation for mixing an image of a first subject into an X-ray image of a second subject has an arrangement for fastening the apparatus to the second subject, markers that can be acquired by a navigation system, and X-ray-positive marks. The positions and orientations of the markers that can be acquired with the navigation system and the positions and orientations of the X-ray-positive marks relative to one another are thus known, so a coordinate transformation can be determined between a coordinate system allocated to the navigation system and a coordinate system allocated to the X-ray image. Thus an image of the first subject that can be acquired with the navigation system can be mixed into an X-ray image of the second subject.
摘要:
A registration method and an apparatus for navigation-guided interventions employing an X-ray device and a position acquisition system and avoid the use of patient-associated markers. By means of a defined arrangement of a carrying arm proceeding from a support mount at the X-ray device and a defined arrangement of an X-ray calibration phantom at the carrying arm, the coordinate transformation between a coordinate system allocated to the support mount and a coordinate system allocated to the X-ray calibration phantom is known. On the basis of the acquisition and evaluation of 2D projections of the X-ray calibration phantom with the X-ray device, a coordinate transformation between the coordinate system allocated to the support mount and a coordinate system allocated to a measurement volume of the X-ray device is produced. By arranging a device detectable by the position acquisition system at the support mount, a coordinate transformation between the coordinate system allocated to the measurement volume and a coordinate system allocated to the calibration phantom is determined for the navigation.
