摘要:
Superimposed X-ray and video images can be obtained by acquiring the respective images from the optically equivalent points in space. One or more mirrors may be used to acquire the images and direct them towards the camera. The images can then be combined by warping one onto the other.

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.
摘要:
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:
Compensation can be provided for rotational and translational motion of a detector relative to the X-ray source in a C-arm X-ray device by warping the image on the detector plane to a virtual detector plane and then mapping the image into three-dimensional space. By using a virtual detector, the computations required to reconstruct the three-dimensional model are greatly simplified.
摘要:
Superimposed X-ray and video images can be obtained by acquiring the respective images from the optically equivalent points in space. One or more mirrors may be used to acquire the images. Alignment of one camera with respect to the X-ray source may be achieved using images of reference points in space. Once the X-ray source and the video camera are positioned at the equivalent point in space, the resultant images can be superimposed through warping.

A calibration phantom includes an arrangement of markings with a first X-ray absorption capability and a second X-ray absorption capability, with the arrangement of markings precluding superimposition of an image of a first marking with an image of a second marking for a sufficient number of successive markings for each projection condition, the physical embodiment of a marking representing a value assignment, and the value assignment of a respective specific first number of adjacent markings in each case forming first code information, with each of the first code information items being unique within the first code information which is formed in the totality of markings and in both reading directions.

An X-ray calibration dummy (RP) having markings (4) that may be acquired by a position-acquisition system (30). The invention also concerns a method for nonmarker-based registration for use in navigation-guided operations employing the X-ray calibration dummy (RP). A medical system for carrying out the method has a C-shaped X-ray machine (10), a position-acquisition system, 30, and the X-ray calibration dummy (RP).
摘要:
An X-ray apparatus has an X-ray examination system with an X-ray source and an X-ray detector which can be displaced relative to a subject for the pickup of 2D projections, an arrangement for determining extrinsic imaging parameters and an arrangement for determining intrinsic imaging parameters, for determining the projection geometry in the examination system for each 2D projection, and having a control and computing stage for reconstructing 3D images from the 2D projections using the extrinsic and intrinsic imaging parameters. The arrangement for determining the intrinsic imaging parameters includes X-ray-positive marks which are allocated to the X-ray source and which are in the path of an X-ray beam emanating from the X-ray source, these marks following displacement of the X-ray system.
