Abstract: “A determination method of at least one parameter indicative of the functionality degree or level of a lung according to the ventilation rate of its cells is provided, on the basis of a volumetric digital medical image of the lung, composed of a voxel cloud.The method includes determining quantitatively and/or delineating a first volume A of the cloud in which spatial density of voxels is between -950 HU and -450 HU; and determining quantitatively and/or delineating a second volume B of the cloud in which spatial density of voxels is between -750 HU and -450 HU. A third volume C is determined quantitatively and/delineated, in addition or alternatively to volume B, defined as the differential volume (volume A - volume B); and the ratio (volume B / volume A) is computed and/or the ratio (volume C / volume A) is computed.

Abstract: An apparatus for insufflating a body cavity with an insufflation gas comprising an insufflation device for delivering the insufflation gas to the body cavity. To detect possibly critical states in the body cavity, the apparatus is designed to withdraw a measuring gas from the body cavity. A measuring device having a gas sensor serves for measuring an additional substance contained in the measuring gas in addition to the insufflation gas and for outputting a measuring signal as a function of the additional substance.

Abstract: An apparatus for conditioning an insufflation gas has an inlet for the delivery of an insufflation gas to a conditioning chamber. The conditioning chamber is used to charge the insufflation gas with a medicament by blowing the insufflation gas through a humidifying liquid containing the medicament. The insufflation gas charged with the medicament flows from the charging device to an outlet and can be delivered to the abdominal cavity of a human or animal, where it ensures optimum distribution of the medicament.
