  • Method and device for the spatial adjustment of tussue data that are optically acquired at temporal intervals
    Publication number: 20040254441
    Abstract: A method for registration of data records of tissue images recorded at temporal intervals includes providing marked structures at fixed locations on the surface of the target tissue to be recorded. At least a first and a second image of the target tissue and first and second images of the marked structures are also recorded at temporal intervals. The position coordinates of the marked structures are computed in three spatial dimensions for the two images. The target tissue images are then registered with a computer based on the position coordinates of the marked structures.

  • Device for determining the surface shape of biological tissue
    Patent number: 6613041
    Abstract: The invention is relative to a method for determining the surface form of biological tissue in which the tissue (8a) is directly irradiated with an irradiation pattern (26) produced with the aid of an excitation radiation (2) so that the irradiated tissue areas are excited to emit a fluorescent pattern (27) consisting of fluorescent radiation (14), which pattern is detected and evaluated in order to calculate the surface form of the tissue (8a).
