Abstract: At least two laser projectors detect their spatial position relative to the mobile target system and a higher-level control system determines relative poses of the at least two laser projectors to one another from the detected spatial positions, wherein the higher-level control system is designed to repeat the determination of the relative poses in different spatial positions of the mobile target system until at least one relative pose to other laser projector is determined, wherein in addition at least one spatially fixed target system is provided, which can be detected by at least one laser projector, and the higher-level control system is designed to convert the relative poses of all laser projectors from the reflection angles of the detected markers of the spatially fixed target system by the at least one laser projector into spatial poses.

Abstract: A system for supporting a process of positioning a patient in a treatment room includes a 3D surface detection system to detect a surface of a patient's body and an evaluation apparatus that determines (i) at least one point of intersection between at least two lines and the surface of the patient's body and (ii) a reference surface of the patient's body indicating a target position of the patient's body relative to an isocenter of the irradiation device. The evaluation apparatus determines a transformation value required to match the detected surface with the reference surface. A target position of the at least one point of intersection is determined by the evaluation apparatus based on the transformation value. A visualization system displays the at least one point of intersection and the target position thereof. The at least one point of intersection indicates the isocenter of the irradiation device.

Abstract: A steerable guide sheath system adapted for delivery into a patient's vasculature. The pull wire which is used to tension the deflectable portion of the sheath is wrapped or twisted around the axis of the sheath.

Abstract: Methods for easy, atraumatic access to areas of the vasculature that are otherwise difficult to access, using steerable guide catheters constructed with components that are selected to provide optimal navigability, torque transfer, and push ability for a variety of typical percutaneous access routes. The catheter wall thickness in the deflecting segment of the guide catheter is about 1 French (? mm) or less, and includes a slotted deflection tube, and this construction allows a very tight turning radius which in turn enables guide catheter access to regions of the vasculature that are otherwise inaccessible.

Abstract: A system and method for delivering a drug to a target site within a patient's body. The system and method include a steerable guide catheter and a drug delivery catheter. The steerable guide catheter has a first extension tube and a second extension tube that are joined together and form a shoulder. The delivery catheter has a distal docking segment and a proximal docking segment. The guide catheter is inserted into the patient's body, then the delivery catheter is inserted into the guide catheter. The distal docking segment engages the first extension tube, the proximal docking segment engages the second extension tube, and the shoulder limits the distance the delivery catheter can be inserted into the guide catheter. Also, once the delivery catheter is inserted it can be rotated to attach the helical tip to the target site. The guide catheter also includes a steering mechanism as well as a friction mechanism which controls the tension on the steering mechanism.
