  • Publication number: 20180055462
    Abstract: A method and device is proposed for automatic detection of an event in which a device is leaving a stable position relative to and within an anatomy. The method comprises the steps of receiving a sequence of fluoroscopic images, detecting a device in at least two of the fluoroscopic images, determining a motion field of the detected device in the sequence of fluoroscopic images, generating a sequence of integrated images by integrating the sequence of fluoroscopic images taking into consideration the motion field, determining a saliency metric based on the integrated images, identifying a landmark in the integrated images based on the saliency metric, and determining as to whether the landmark is moving relative to the device, based on a variation of the saliency metric.

  • Publication number: 20160353913
    Abstract: The invention provides a bayonet-fitting pressure-cooking utensil having a vessel and a lid, said utensil including a support attached to said lid so that said lid can pivot relative to said support, the support and the vessel being configured to be united in a predetermined relative arrangement enabling the lid to be locked to the vessel, said support forming a first positioning element that projects radially beyond the lid and that is designed such that, when the support and the vessel are united in said predetermined relative arrangement, said first positioning element interacts mechanically with a second positioning element to lock the relative angular positioning of the support and of the vessel, while also allowing said handle to project radially outwards beyond said support.

  • Publication number: 20160228084
    Abstract: The intention relates to a system (1) and a corresponding method for automatic roadmapping for endovascular interventions. In order to enable an enhanced roadmapping visualization without unnecessary device-footprints, the system (1) comprises: an x-ray imaging device (3) for acquiring x-ray images and a calculation unit (5). The x-ray imaging device (3) is adapted for acquiring a first x-ray image (21) with an interventional device (17) present in the vessels (19) while no contrast agent is present in the vessels (19). Furthermore, the x-ray imaging device (3) is adapted for acquiring a second x-ray image (23) with the interventional device (17) present in the vessels (19) while contrast agent is present in the vessels (19). The calculation unit is adapted for creating a roadmap image (27) by subtracting the first x-ray image (21) from the second x-ray image (23).
