Latest Patents
One of Marcus Vetter's latest patents is titled "Incremental real-time recording of tracked instruments in tubular organ structures inside the human body." This invention relates to a method for navigation during medical interventions on tubular organ structures. It involves recording and storing static image data of these structures before the intervention. The tubular organ structures are then extracted from the image data, and their course is converted into a geometric description used during the medical intervention for instrument and organ recording. The instrument's position is spatially localized by a tracking system and is corrected in relation to the static data through an optimization method. This ensures that the instrument's position is accurately associated with the anatomical structures in the static image data.
Another significant patent by Vetter is a "Method, device and navigation aid for navigation during medical interventions." This invention involves one or several navigation aids that can be used to maintain the recorded state of at least one partial structure of a non-bone structure. These navigation aids are inserted into the non-bone structure, enhancing the accuracy of medical procedures.
