Patent number: 9283044Abstract: A solenoid system for magnetically guided capsule endoscopy, has the following components arranged under a patient table which defines a flat plane: a central coil with normal direction being perpendicular to the flat plane, and four coil pairs arranged in the form of a cross around the central coil with respect to the flat plane. Each pair includes two single coils, the normal directions of which are parallel to the flat plane and offset by 90 degrees in relation to each other.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2010Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Aleksandar Juloski, Johannes Reinschke

Patent number: 8944999Abstract: A coil system for the contactless magnetic navigation of a magnetic body in a work space, has a plurality of coils and a current controller for controlling the respective currents in the plurality of coils. In order to navigate the magnetic body to a variably predeterminable position in the work space, the current controller is designed such that the currents in the plurality of coils are such that the magnetic forces generated by the currents and acting upon the magnetic body at multiple positions at the edge of a convex environment around the predetermined position are directed into the environment. The coil system has the advantage that a movement of the magnetic body toward a spatial position is achieved without any mechanical movement of the coil system and without a positioning system for determining the position of the magnetic body. The coil system is utilized particularly in a medical device, wherein a magnetic body in the form of a probe is moved in the body of a patient.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2009Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Aleksandar Juloski, Johannes Reinschke

Patent number: 8870757Abstract: In a method and a device to detect information about the three-dimensional structure of the inner surface of a body cavity of a patient with an endoscopy capsule introduced into said body cavity, a first partial region of the inner surface of the body cavity is illuminated with at least one light source arranged in the endoscopy capsule and an image of a second partial region that is illuminated by the first partial region and differs from the first partial region. The three-dimensional structure of the second partial region is known, and the second partial region is acquired with at least one camera arranged in the endoscopy capsule. Information about the three-dimensional structure of the first partial region is derived using the intensity values in this image.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2011Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Elli Angelopoulou, Aleksandar Juloski, Rainer Kuth, Philip Mewes

Patent number: 8641603Abstract: A coil system for the contact-free magnetic navigation of a magnetic body with a magnetic dipole moment in a working chamber, a number of coils and a current control unit for controlling the respective currents in the multiple coils. The current control unit generates a force on the magnetic body in a predefined direction by setting the currents in the multiple coils so that the direction of the force generated by the currents on the magnetic body at each position among a number of positions in a volume in the working chamber essentially corresponds to the predefined direction of force. This coil system has the advantage that the position of the magnetic body in the working chamber does not need to be known exactly in order to move the body in a desired direction or to align the body in a desired orientation direction. This coil system suitable for use in a medical device and by special preference in a device for capsule endoscopy.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2010Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Aleksandar Juloski, Johannes Reinschke
