  • Publication number: 20210386453
    Abstract: A threading support facility is for threading an object into a guide apparatus. The threading support facility is connectable to the guide apparatus and is configured to support threading of the object into the guide apparatus. In an embodiment, the threading support facility includes a wall connecting a first aperture of the threading support facility and a second aperture of the threading support facility. The first aperture is embodied as an inlet for insertion of the object into the threading support facility and the second aperture is embodied as an outlet out of the threading support facility. Further, a sub-guide runs along the wall of the threading support facility and runs in a direction from the first aperture to the second aperture. The sub-guide is configured to support guiding of the object, after insertion through the first aperture, into the threading support facility in a direction of the second aperture.

  • Publication number: 20210322105
    Abstract: A medical imaging system includes a medical imaging device to map a mapping region inside an examination object, the medical imaging device being designed such that a location of the mapping region is changable in respect of the examination object; and a processing device, including a data interface, to robotically position a medical object inside the examination object, via a movement device. In an embodiment, the processing device is configured to determine an instantaneous position of the medical object; specify a target position for the medical object, the target position being defined relative to the mapping region; determine one or more control signals, configured to cause a movement of the medical object via the movement device from the instantaneous position to the target position; and provide the one or more control signals, via the data interface, to the movement device.

  • Publication number: 20210137482
    Abstract: A method is for the automatic regulation of radiation doses of a person for an examination with a medical X-ray device, which has a first dose regulation. In an embodiment, the method includes a specification of X-ray parameters of an X-ray examination based upon patient information and a specification of a dose regulation as a function of X-ray parameters as well as a limit value for deterministic radiation damage and/or a guide value for stochastic effective doses.

  • Publication number: 20200043626
    Abstract: An X-ray apparatus includes an X-ray source embodied to generate X-rays; an X-ray detector; and an X-ray-reflection unit. The X-ray-reflection unit is embodied to reflect X-rays generated by the X-ray source such that the reflected X-rays hit the X-ray detector. The X-ray detector is in particular embodied to detect the X-rays. The X-ray apparatus can, on the one hand, enlarge the available space above a patient. Furthermore, focusing via the X-ray-reflection unit enables the power of the X-ray source to be increased while retaining a constant spatial resolution or the spatial resolution to be improved while retaining a constant power of the X-ray source.

  • Publication number: 20130129167
    Abstract: An arrangement for computer-assisted structuring of medical examination data is provided. The arrangement has a device for receiving at least one medical examination data record including at least one image data record created with a radiological imaging device, a device for receiving medical video data from external video sources, a device for converting the medical video data into a medical standard format in which a time stamp of the video data generation is stored, a device for storing the converted video data and the at least one examination data record, and a device for outputting the video data and examination data record. The video data and the at least one image data record can be arranged according to their time stamp.
