20080221385 | HYPERTHERMIA TREATMENT DEVICE WITH X-RAY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IMAGING - A medical technology device has an x-ray CT imaging system and a magnet system for generation of a radio-frequency alternating magnetic field for treatment of a tumor injected with ferrite nanoparticles, the x-ray CT system and the magnet system being combined to form a unitary structure. Imaging and tumor therapy can be conducted with one apparatus, and the monitoring of the course of the tumor therapy is simplified. | 09-11-2008 |
20080292048 | Method, tomography system and image processing system for displaying tomographic records of a patient - A method and a tomographic system are disclosed for displaying tomographic records of a patient. In at least one embodiment, the method includes scanning the patient with the aid of a tomographic system having one system axis, determining at least one topogram, calculating three-dimensional image data records including a multiplicity of slice images on a plane or volume data records, and outputting at least one slice image of the patient. In at least one embodiment, the orientation of individual body zones relative to the system axis of the tomographic system is automatically determined from the at least one topogram, and slice images of the body zones are calculated from the three-dimensional image data records, the slice planes of which are at a defined solid angle to the previously determined orientation of the scanned body zones. | 11-27-2008 |
20090064154 | IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE PARALLEL RECONSTRUCTION PIPELINES - In a method, system, computer-readable medium and watchdog module to control a number of medical technology processes that are executed in multiple computerized pipelines according to a predetermined organizational structure, a priority is associated with an incoming process, with a high priority and multiple low priorities being provided. A process with a high priority is executed in a priority pipeline among the multiple pipelines. | 03-05-2009 |
20090112083 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CORRELATING TOMOGRAPHICALLY CONTROLLED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES WITH PATIENT POSITION IN THE RESPIRATORY CYCLE - In a method and an imaging system for implementing a CT-assisted or MRT-assisted minimally-invasive interventional procedure at an anatomical location inside the body of a patient, the inspiratory or respiratory position of the patient within the respiratory cycle of the patient is continuously detected and a measurement value, identifying a current position of the patient within the respiratory cycle, is detected at a point in time that a CT or MRT slice image of the anatomical location is obtained. This measurement value is stored together with the image data of the slice image so that the measurement value and the image data can be retrieved together and displayed together. | 04-30-2009 |
20090141858 | Beam admission unit, beam generation device and tomography device - A beam admission unit is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the beam admission unit includes a plurality of admission segments having at least one admission slit for admitting radiation emanating from a radiation source onto a predetermined admission region. So as to implement a particularly space-saving, robust and reliable design, in at least one embodiment the admission segments are interconnected in an articulated fashion to form an admission plate chain which can be rolled up. | 06-04-2009 |
20110118595 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING AND ASSIGNING CORONARY CALCIFICATION TO A CORONARY VESSEL AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - A method and a device are disclosed for identifying and assigning coronary calcification to at least one coronary vessel of a heart in a patient. In at least one embodiment, coronary calcification is identified on the basis of a | 05-19-2011 |
20120296620 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PLANNING AN ENDOVASCULAR PROCEDURE WITH A MEDICAL INSTRUMENT - A device and a method for planning an endovascular procedure are proposed. A medical instrument, particularly a catheter, is introduced into a vessel and is guided to its place of application via the vessel. Vessel diameters and bend radiuses along a plotted vessel course are automatically determined from the volume data set of the medical imaging and compared with a maximum diameter and minimum bend radius of the medical instrument planned for use. Points or regions within the plotted vessel course which have too low a vessel diameter or bend radius are subsequently highlighted in color in an image display of the vascular tree or vessel course. The user immediately detects critical areas and can if necessary change his or her plan or resort to an instrument with different geometric data. The method and the device make planning the endovascular procedure possible even for inexperienced users. | 11-22-2012 |
20120323545 | DEVICE FOR PLANNING A TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE IMPLANTATION - A device for planning a transcatheter aortic valve implantation is disclosed. The device includes a segmentation module for segmenting the aorta ascendens with the aorta annulus, the aortic valves and the coronary ostia as well as the left ventricle; a determination module, which determines on the basis of the segmented data the aorta annulus plane and from this one or more angiography projections for setting an angiography device, with which the aorta annulus and the coronary ostia are able to be detected in the optimum manner for positioning the transcatheter heart valve; and an output module that outputs this information. The proposed device supports the user in the planning of a transcatheter aortic valve implantation. | 12-20-2012 |
20120330127 | GENERATION OF SCAN DATA AND FOLLOW-UP CONTROL COMMANDS - A method to generate scan data with a medical imaging technology system includes the steps of receiving control commands to control an imaging scan process and/or an image output via a user interface, implementing an imaging scan process with the imaging system, providing image data generated by the scan process; and linking the image data with a data set representing the user interface during the reception to form the scan data. A medical imaging technology system is designed to implement such a method. | 12-27-2012 |
