Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed herein for improved safer planning support during interventional procedures for inserting stents into a hollow organ of a patient by a guide device. One method includes: providing or recording a three-dimensional image data set of the hollow organ in a first position; segmentation or providing a segmentation of the three-dimensional image data set; providing or recording a two-dimensional image of the guide device introduced into the hollow organ; overlaying the three-dimensional image data set with the two-dimensional image; determining at least one corrected position of one or more section(s) of the hollow organ respectively using the overlaying of the three-dimensional image data set with the two-dimensional image; and determining the respective deformation energy of the hollow organ in the section(s) for the case of removal of the guide device using the previously determined corrected position compared to the first position.

Claims (31)

1. A method of planning support for an interventional procedure for introducing a stent into a hollow organ of a patient by a guide device, the method comprising:

providing or recording a three-dimensional image data set of the hollow organ in a first position;

segmenting or providing a segmentation of the three-dimensional image data set;

providing or recording an at least one two-dimensional image of the guide device introduced into the hollow organ;

overlaying the three-dimensional image data set with the at least one two-dimensional image to provide an overlaid image;

determining at least one corrected position of one or more sections of the hollow organ respectively using the overlaid image; and

determining a respective deformation energy of the hollow organ in the one or more sections for a case of removal of the guide device and placement of the stent into the hollow organ using the at least one determined corrected position compared to the first position, prior to the removal of the guide device and the placement of the stent.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first position is an original position.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the respective deformation energy is estimated by determining or calculating spacings between the first position and the corrected position of the hollow organ in the one or more sections.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the respective deformation energies or a representation of the deformation energies are displayed in the overlaid image.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the deformation energies are displayed color-coded, wherein a first deformation energy of the deformation energies is depicted by a first color and a second, different deformation energy of the deformation energies is depicted by a second, different color.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the deformation energies are displayed color-coded by a display device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the respective deformation energies or a representation of the deformation energies are displayed in the overlaid image.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the deformation energies are displayed color-coded, wherein a first deformation energy of the deformation energies is depicted by a first color and a second, different deformation energy of the deformation energies is depicted by a second, different color.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the deformation energies are displayed color-coded by a display device.

10. A system for carrying out planning support for an interventional procedure for introducing a stent into a hollow organ of a patient by a guide device, the system comprising:

a communications device configured to request image data;

a storage device configured to store a three-dimensional image data set of the hollow organ in a first position and an at least one two-dimensional image of the guide device introduced into the hollow organ;

an image processing device configured to carry out a segmentation of the three-dimensional image data set;

an overlaying device configured to overlay the three-dimensional image data set with the at least one two-dimensional image to provide an overlaid image; and

a computing device configured to determine at least one corrected position of one or more sections respectively of the hollow organ using the overlaid image, and to determine a deformation energy of the hollow organ in the section for a case of removal of the guide device and placement of the stent into the hollow organ using the at least one determined corrected position compared to the first position, prior to the removal of the guide device and the placement of the stent.

11. The system of claim 10 , further comprising:

a display device configured to provide a color-coded display of the determined deformation energy.

12. The system of claim 11 , further comprising:

an image recording device configured to record the at least one two-dimensional image.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the image recording device is an angiography machine.

14. The system of claim 10 , further comprising:

an image recording device configured to record the at least one two-dimensional image.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the image recording device is an angiography machine.

16. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining an optimal position for the placement of the stent based on the determined deformation energies, wherein the optimal position is based on a relatively low determined deformation energy of the determined deformation energies.
