In typical practice today, clinicians in the fields of interventional radiology, radiation therapy, neurology, cardiology, and other spaces often utilize multiple techniques to prepare, image, and treat patients for complex, image-guided procedures. Such procedures may utilize one of x-ray imaging, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fluoroscopy, angiography, among others, or combinations thereof to combine the strengths of each modality while minimizing undesirable tradeoffs. An objective problem exists of how to track the position and/or orientation of a patient transfer apparatus or support while it is in use on diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, independent of the inbuilt or external tracking measures of the modality, which is especially needed in light of today's modern multimodal diagnostic and treatment procedures. The present invention is directed to system and methods for tracking the coordinates of a patient transfer apparatus with selected sensors, transmitters, processors, and reference surfaces having tracking features capable of being detected by the sensors.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a method and a device for the non-contact determination of color and intensity variations over time in objects in a scene, for example in sports centers or hospitals, but also of plants. For monitoring the state of health or for performance diagnostics for athletes, a number of methods are known in the prior art, but they predominantly rely on contact with the persons. The color and intensity variations relate to light of specific wavelengths which is either actively emitted by the object itself, for example an LED, or which is partly absorbed or attenuated by the object upon illumination and is therefore not completely reflected. The term "color variations" denotes here in the literal sense generally changes in the wavelength, i.e. for example the shift in a reflection maximum or transmission maximum within narrow wavelength ranges. The term "intensity variations" denotes generally variations in the maximum reflection or transmission at a constant wavelength. In the field of sports medicine applications, however, "color variations" are likewise understood to mean intensity variations because the latter appear to bring about a color variation subjectively and only apparently as a result of a change in brightness, but this is not actually the case for an individual color or wavelength, but rather only for the overall impression brought about by the mixture of all colors or wavelengths: If the intensity of a color of main emphasis changes, then a different overall color impression arises for an observer in total in the color mixture of the individual wavelengths. Jaundice in humans, in particular newborns, will be mentioned as an example here: The higher concentration of bilirubin in the blood results in intensified reflection in the wavelength range of between (420) nm and (450) nm and hence in the color of the skin being perceived to be significantly yellower than in healthy humans.

The invention relates to a method for visualising a prospective landing zone of a vascular stent which is intended to be placed in a vessel of an organism using a delivery catheter. The method comprises the following steps: saving the parameters of the stent in an electronic data memory; capturing a first pair of two-dimensional images of a region of interest in the vessel using an image capturing unit; determining the centreline and the boundaries of the imaged vessel using a processing unit; capturing a second pair of two-dimensional images of the region of interest using the image capturing unit, once the stent has been provisionally fixed in the region of interest of the vessel without being completely disengaged from the delivery catheter; calculating a three-dimensional model of the vessel in the region of interest; calculating a three-dimensional model of the stent in its placement position for use; displaying, in a display unit, the calculated three-dimensional model of the stent or a two-dimensional projection of said model as the prospective landing zone in the image of the calculated three-dimensional model of the vessel. The invention also relates to an angiography device which is configured to carry out the method.
