摘要:
A thermal ablation device for introduction of heat or cold into the body of a patient has a first heating or cooling device to heat or cool the tissue to be ablated, as well as at least one additional cooling or heating arrangement that serves to cool or heat tissue surrounding the tissue to be ablated, and that can be introduced into a natural or latent cavity of the patient.
摘要:
Device to thermally affect delimited regions of the body of a patient, wherein it possesses at least one heating or cooling means that can be inserted into a blood vessel of the patient or can be attached to a blood vessel of the patient in order to heat or cool the blood in a portion of the blood vessel that leads into or away from a tissue to be treated.

摘要:
In a method for image guided prostate cancer needle biopsy, a first registration is performed to match a first image of a prostate to a second image of the prostate. Third images of the prostate are acquired and compounded into a three-dimensional (3D) image. The prostate in the compounded 3D image is segmented to show its border. A second registration and then a third registration different from the second registration is performed on distance maps generated from the prostate borders of the first image and the compounded 3D image, wherein the first and second registrations are based on a biomechanical property of the prostate. A region of interest in the first image is mapped to the compounded 3D image or a fourth image of the prostate acquired with the second modality.
