Patent number: 9603578Abstract: In a method and apparatus for graphical assistance in an interventional procedure to open an occlusion of a hollow organ of a patient a three-dimensional CT image data set of an examination region with the at least one hollow organ having the occlusion is retrieved and visualized segmentation data with segmentation data of the hollow organ at a display unit. At least two x-ray fluoroscopy images are acquired at different angulations the CT image data set is registered with at least two of the x-ray images. A number of fluoroscopy x-ray images are acquired during a time period, with real-time visualization of at least one x-ray fluoroscopy image and data of the CT image data set at the display unit. The steps are implemented individually and in sequence, and control options relating exclusively to the current step can be selected manually via a user interface depending on the step that is currently implemented, and only user inputs that are appropriate for the current step are accepted.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2014Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Andreas Meyer, Norbert Rahn, Markus Rossmeier

Patent number: 9082158Abstract: A method and system for real time stent enhancement on a live 2D fluoroscopic scene is disclosed. A motion compensated stent enhancement image is generated from a first set of frames in a fluoroscopic image sequence. A weighting field is generated based on the motion compensated stent enhancement image. For each new frame in the fluoroscopic image sequence that is received, the stent is enhanced in the new frame by compounding the new frame with the motion compensated stent enhancement image using the weighting field.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2013Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Terrence Chen, Peter Durlak, Markus Rossmeier, Dorin Comaniciu

Publication number: 20140294149Abstract: A method includes x-ray image recording of a sequence of overview images of a guidewire during movement of the guidewire through an occlusion, and continuously updated determining of the position of the guidewire using an image recognition algorithm from the overview images. The method also includes continuously updated determining of the position of a tip of the guidewire using a further image recognition algorithm from the overview images, and determining a sequence of zoom images from the sequence of overview images. The zoom images, based on the position determination of the tip of the guidewire, show a cutout with the tip that is enlarged from the overview x-ray images. The method also includes automatic real-time display of at least one overview image with a displayed guidewire in each instance together with at least one zoom image with a displayed tip of the guidewire on a display unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2014Publication date: October 2, 2014Inventors: Johannes Rieber, Markus Roßmeier

Patent number: 8457375Abstract: A method is provided for visualization of hollow organs of a patient. An x-ray image dataset of the hollow organ is recorded and registered. A number of individual x-ray images are recorded during a movement of an instrument with a data capture unit through the hollow organ, with each individual x-ray image featuring time information. Datasets of a data capture unit of an instrument is recorded during the movement of the instrument, with each dataset featuring time information. Position of the instrument is determined based on the individual x-ray images by an image recognition algorithm. The datasets of the data capture unit and the position of the instrument is spatially assigned based on the time information of the datasets of the data capture unit and the individual x-ray images. The datasets of the data capture unit is jointly displayed with the x-ray image dataset.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2010Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Johannes Rieber, Markus Rossmeier
