Abstract: Three-dimensional image datasets are used to assist in the visualization of an interventional procedure. The three-dimensional image datasets are registered to two-dimensional images acquired by a medical imaging device. A display device can display a fusion visualization of the three-dimensional image datasets and the two-dimensional image. A monitoring device can monitor the progress of a medical instrument used in the interventional procedure. A processor can incorporate the position of the medical instrument in the fusion visualization displayed by the display device.

A 3D image data of the region of interest is captured before the catheter application. A 3D surface profile of objects in the region of interest is extracted from the 3D image data by segmentation. The electroanatomical 3D mapping data and 3D image data forming at least the 3D surface profile is assigned by registration and visualized superimposed on one another. Characteristic parameters are measured for catheter guidance during the catheter application. The characteristic parameters are compared with at least one predefined threshold value and regulation data for catheter guidance is generated as a function of the comparison result.

Abstract: In a method and system for patient-specific production of a cardiac electrode lead, a 3D representation of the coronary sinus vessel tree is segmented to indicate the interior surface thereof and a representative line from an opening of the coronary sinus vessel tree to an implantation site for the electrode lead, and a computerized model of the electrode is generated that includes deformation properties of the mechanical structure of the electrode lead. A computerized virtual implantation of the electrode through the 3D representation of the coronary sinus vessel tree is implemented using the model and the internal surface and the representative line from which determination is made as to whether an electrode conforming to the model can be guided to and implanted at the implantation site in a medically acceptable manner, or whether modification of the electrode lead is necessary.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for correcting motion in imaging during a medical intervention, by which method a 3D tomographic image of a target area for the intervention is first recorded while there are one or more medical instruments in the target area that will remain there during the intervention. During the intervention 2D fluoroscopic images of the target area are recorded and registered with the 3D image. The registration is therein adjusted for each 2D fluoroscopic image in realtime based in each case on the one or more instruments. The 2D fluoroscopic images are then in each case visualized with representations, concurring in terms of perspective, of the 3D image. Virtually error-free overlaying of the 3D image with in each case one 2D fluoroscopic image can be implemented using the present method and associated device.

Abstract: A method and a device for obtaining a volume data set of a mobile tissue or organ of a patient by a C-arm X-ray device are provided. An electromagnetic sensor of a position detection system is arranged indirectly on the tissue or organ. The X-ray device obtains a plurality of X-ray projections from the tissue or organ from various projection directions. A first method consists of reconstructing a volume data set from the X-ray projections, in which the electromagnetic sensor adopts a position characterizing a displacement phase of the tissue or organ. A second method consists of reconstructing a volume data set from the X-ray projections captured when the electromagnetic sensor was located in a position characterizing a displacement phase of the tissue or organ. A third method does not capture an X-ray projection for the reconstruction if the electromagnetic sensor is located in a position characterizing a displacement phase.

Abstract: With a method for generating an x-ray image sequence for supporting an intervention on a patient with a catheter or guide wire for instance, automatic recognition of the catheter is carried out with recorded x-ray images using a computer system. The x-ray image recording parameters are changed on the basis of the determined quality of the imaging of the object, with the x-ray device preferably being automatically activated with the changed x-ray image recording parameters, to record x-ray images. The doctor can therefore concentrate on the actual intervention and does not have to worry about operating the x-ray device.
