The apparatus includes a top plate, at least one top rail slideably coupled to said top plate, said top plate selectively positionable between a first imaging position and a second imaging position along an examination axis, a support member coupled to said ... 08/31/06 - 20060195033 - Insertion support system for specifying a location of interest as an arbitrary region and also appropriately setting a navigation leading to the specified region According to an insertion support system of the present invention, when a biopsy area is specified at a periphery of the bronchi, the barycenter of the biopsy area is extracted. A circle centering on the barycenter is determined as a search area. The search area is expanded until the bronchi ... 05/11/06 - 20060100510 - Method and apparatus for using tomography for placement of an instrument A method and apparatus for using a tomography to facilitate the placement of an instrument in a vessel or in an organ of a patient's body wherein a specific or selected region of the patient is defined. X-ray radiation is projected onto the selected region, the X-ray radiation being emitted ... 12/01/05 - 20050267362 - Assessment of sleep quality and sleep disordered breathing based on cardiopulmonary coupling An assessment of sleep quality and sleep disordered breathing is determined from cardiopulmonary coupling between two physiological data series. An R-R interval series is derived from an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The normal beats from the R-R interval series are extracted to produce a normal-to-normal interval series. The amplitude variations in ... 11/10/05 - 20050251030 - Method for augmented reality instrument placement using an image based navigation system A system and method for instrument placement using an image based navigation system is disclosed. A target of interest is identified in a medical image of a patient. An image plane is displayed that goes through a center of the target. The image plane has a configurable orientation. The image ... 11/03/05 - 20050245821 - Position sensing system for orthopedic applications A surgical tracking system includes a wireless position sensor, which is adapted to be implanted in a bone of a subject, and responsively to externally-applied magnetic fields within a working volume of the tracking system, to generate and transmit sensor signals indicative of coordinates of the position sensor within the ... 11/03/05 - 20050245820 - Method and apparatus for verifying and correcting tracking of an anatomical structure during surgery A method and apparatus verifies and optionally, corrects tracking during computer assisted surgery by tracking a plurality of trackable targets, at least one of which is initially capable of positioning independent of the other targets. A geometric relationship between said targets is calculated and later verified, to detect instability of ... 10/20/05 - 20050234335 - Trajectory storage apparatus and method for surgical navigation systems A method and apparatus for determining, calculating, and/or viewing a trajectory. The trajectory can be displayed on a display relative to image data of a patient. A user can use the system to determine relationships between two or more trajectories that have been determined. The relationships can be within two ... 10/20/05 - 20050234334 - Kit for image guided surgical procedures An embodiment of the present invention provides a kit of parts for use in a surgical procedure performed under image guidance, and particularly under real time image guidance. The kit includes a sterilized drape for use with the chosen imaging machine and which can be used to provide a sterile ... 08/18/05 - 20050182320 - Arrangement for ascertaining function-determining geometric parameters of a joint of a vertebrate Arrangement for ascertaining function-determining geometric parameters of a joint of a vertebrate, especially a hip or shoulder joint of a human being, in preparation for the installation of a joint replacement implant, especially a hip or shoulder socket or an associated stem implant, by means of an optical coordinate-measuring procedure, ... 07/14/05 - 20050154296 - Universal instrument or instrument set for computer guided surgery The invention relates to an instrument for use in computer guided surgery. The instrument includes a shaft and a reference element adapter, wherein the reference element adapter is directly couplable to the shaft and rotatable about the shaft. A selectively operable mechanical retainer provides retention of the reference element adapter ... 06/02/05 - 20050119566 - Instrumentation and method for mounting a surgical navigation reference device to a patient Instrumentation and methods are provided for mounting a surgical navigation reference frame to a patient. In one embodiment, a trocar is positioned within a cannula to form an insertion device adapted for percutaneous introduction into the patient. A bone anchor having a bone engaging portion is inserted through the cannula ... 06/02/05 - 20050119565 - Method and apparatus for positioning an object with respect to the isocenter of an acquisition system Certain embodiments of the present invention relate to a system and method for object and isocenter alignment in an imaging system. The system includes an electromagnetic, an electromagnetic receiver, and an imaging unit for determining an isocenter of an imaging scanner based on information from the electromagnetic receiver. The imaging ... 06/02/05 - 20050119564 - Pre-operative planning of implantations A method for positioning a digital template of a prosthesis based on computerized measurement of the width of the medullar space in an 2-dimensional projection image of the relevant bone into which the prosthesis is to be inserted, the method comprising detecting, preferably automatically, the edges of the medullar space, ... ### FreshPatents.com Support |
