Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling movement of a motorized C-arm, comprising: receiving position information of a user (U) relative to the C-arm (1), continuously receiving current position information of the C-arm (1) relative to a reference position of the C-arm, from said current position information and from the position information of the user, computing a graphical representation of the current position of the C-arm according to the user's point of view, from the computed graphical representation of the current position of the C-arm, computing a graphical representation of at least one command button suited to the current position information of the C-arm and to the user's point of view to move the C-arm in a determined direction according to a respective degree of freedom, displaying on a control panel a graphical user interface (7) comprising said computed representation (70) of the current position of the C-arm and said at least one command button (710).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reconstructing a 3D image from 2D X-ray images acquired with an X-ray imaging system, said method comprising the steps of: a) receiving a set of 2D X-ray images of a region of a patient with said X-ray imaging system, b) computing an initial 3D image within the coordinate system of the X-ray imaging system by using at least part of said 2D X-ray images with their respective projective geometry data; c) projecting said initial 3D image on at least part of said 2D X-ray images and adjusting the respective projective geometry data of said images, said adjustment comprising registration of said images with the projection of the initial 3D image using an image-to-image registration technique; d) computing an updated 3D image using the complete set of 2D X-ray images with their respective adjusted projective geometry data.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a system for three-dimensional reconstruction of an image representing the surface contours of at least an object (1), from at least a two-dimensional view of said object obtained by X-ray, which consists in: determining the position of the photographing source (7) in a reference repository; selecting a predefined model constituting a mean form of the object, and repeating the process until the contours of the model are such that the variations between the overhead projection rays of the contours of the two-dimensional image from the source and the model surface are minimal; selecting an orientation and a position for the model in the reference repository; then selecting a deformation of the model to modify its contours in three dimensions.
