  • Patent number: 7426256
    Abstract: An X-ray imaging method forms a set of a plurality of two-dimensional X-Ray projection images of a medical or veterinary object to be examined through a scanning rotation by an X-Ray source viz à viz the object. Such X-Ray images are acquired at respective predetermined time instants with respect to a functionality process produced by the object. From said set of X-Ray projection images by back-projection a three-dimensional volume image of the object is reconstructed. In particular, an appropriate motion correction is derived for the respective two-dimensional images, and subsequently as based on a motion vector field from the various corrected two-dimensional images the intended three-dimensional volume is reconstructed.

  • Publication number: 20080021297
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a system for generating a spatial roadmap for an interventional device and a quality control system for guarding the spatial accuracy thereof. In an embodiment of the system 100 for practicing the invention an X-ray imager 100a is used for acquiring suitable images Di-1, Di, . . . , DN, showing the volume under examination, comprising the catheters 182a, 182b. These X-ray images are then processed by means of per se known reconstruction method to yield a motion-corrected three-dimensional volume of examination. This volume is then presented by means of suitable user-interface 181 on a display unit 183 together with distal portions of the catheters 182a, 182b provided with detectable markers (for simplicity only one detectable marker per catheter is shown).
