Publication number: 20180285530Abstract: Embodiments relate to a method and system for calculating an optimal position for a valve clip to be placed and/or an optimal type of valve clip to be used for placement in a patient, based upon a simulation of the blood flow for the valve. Parameters that influence the simulation of blood flow for the mitral valve are used to conduct the simulation, the results of which are compared against certain predefined metrics. One or more metrics may be defined to analyze the effective regurgitation resulting from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations. A valve clip and/or a clip position may be selected or determined to be preferred based upon flow characteristics calculated for the valve clip and/or the clip position under the CFD simulation. Appropriate instructions or other guidance information to appropriately place and affix the valve clip into the optimal position is provided via a user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2016Publication date: October 4, 2018Inventors: Ronald Sipiorski, Martin Trini

Publication number: 20130038629Abstract: A method for visualizing a registration quality of medical image datasets is provided. A reference image and an object image are acquired and registered with each other to form a merged image by a registration method having a non-elastic and an elastic registration method section. A deformation field is determined having displacement vectors from image points of the object image to image points of the reference image which are conditioned by the elastic registration method section. One region of the merged image is overlayed with an overlay into which parameters of the deformation field are fed. The region of the merged image and the overlaid overlay is visualized.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2012Publication date: February 14, 2013Inventors: Stefan Lautenschläger, Martin Trini

Publication number: 20100054568Abstract: The invention relates to a method for selecting a volume of interest in one or more digitized images. A geometric structure in the digitized image for selecting a volume of interest is defined. A segmentation of the volume of interest in the digitized image is performed and visualized. The invention further relates to an apparatus, in particular a computer for performing the methods and a computer storage device comprising machine readable and executable program instructions which comprise steps of performing the methods. The invention can be applied for modern imaging developments, such as Computed Tomography, Angiography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging which have made possible the acquisition of volumes where a volume of interest, e.g. the whole blood vessel tree, can be accurately visualized.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2009Publication date: March 4, 2010Inventors: Scott Baker, Andrea Endreß, Sigrid Ferschel, Manfred Koch, Stefan Lautenschlager, Martin Trini, Stefan Weyers
