A minimally invasive examination device for assisting in the positioning of an interventional instrument in the body of a patient. The device allows improved positioning of an interventional instrument in the body of a patient. The device comprises:

Minimally invasive examination device

Various methods and systems are provided for thermal monitoring of tissue with an ultrasound imaging system. In one embodiment, a method comprises acquiring, via an ultrasound probe, an ultrasound image, selecting at least one region of interest in the ultrasound image, extracting features from the at least one region of interest, classifying a thermal state of tissue in the at least one region of interest based on the features, and outputting, via a display device, the thermal state of the tissue. In this way, ultrasound imaging may be used for real-time thermal monitoring of tissue during an ablation procedure, thereby improving the accuracy and efficacy of the ablation procedure.

The invention relates to a patch () with at least one filler and at least one active ingredient, wherein the local distribution of the active ingredient or ingredients within the patch () takes place dependent on the morphology, anatomy and physiology of the lesion () to be treated.

Patch with active ingredients

The invention relates to a system () for detecting image parameters during the exposure of films (), in particular X-ray films. It is an object of the invention to provide a system which allows a simple and fast production of optimally exposed recordings. For this purpose, the system () comprises a detector element () which can be detachably attached to a film () and which detects in a spatially resolved manner the radiation () impinging on the film () during exposure or the radiation () transmitted through the film and thereby generates a signal from which image parameters generated by the current film exposure can be derived.

Disclosed is an injection system () for injecting liquids within a strong magnetic field, an alternating magnetic field, and/or a high-frequency electric field to be used with a technical medical system. Said injection system comprises a space () that is shielded from electromagnetic fields with the aid of a shield, an injection device () by means of which liquid to be injected can be dispensed to a patient (), a driving mechanism for the injection device (), by means of which at least one conveying element () can be displaced for injection purposes, and a control and monitoring unit () which is located outside said space (). The inventive injection system prevents interfering electromagnetic fields from being created exclusively by the fact that a hydraulic driving mechanism () is provided whose at least one hydraulic conduit () is guided out of the space () to a pressure generating unit ().

The invention relates to a stent () for introducing into human body cavities, in particular into blood vessels, comprising a proximal first end to be introduced () and a distal final end to be introduced (), a sleeve-like stent body () made of biocompatible material, and at least one support wire () provided as a support body within the stent body (), the support wire (), when the stent is in the tensioned state, resting against the inside of the stent body () in the shape of a spiral and the stent body (), when the stent is in a compressed state, being collapsed and expandable into a tensioned state. The proximal end of the support wire () in the region of the proximal first end to be introduced () is firmly attached to the stent body () and the distal end of the support wire, when the stent is in the compressed state, extending from the distal final end () of the stent body () to be introduced. The support wire () is a shape-retaining spring wire which in the compressed state is pre-tensioned at least in the region of the stent body () and is drawn into an elongated straight line and contracts in the longitudinal direction into the spiral shape at least in sections upon closing of the spring and expands radially in the form of a spiral in order to effect a radial expansion of the contracted stent body () until it reaches the tensioned state.

A process and system are disclosed for supplying electrical energy to a device located in a room housing an imaging system (such as an MRI system, for example), wherein the room is shielded from external electromagnetic fields. Certain embodiments of the present invention provide systems and processes for emitting electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range of the light spectrum from at least one light emission device. Embodiments of the present invention further provide a process and system for transforming the electromagnetic radiation into electrical energy using at least one transducer device located in the room, and supplying the electrical energy to the device so as to minimize interfering electromagnetic fields within the room.

In a method for the acquisition and evaluation of data obtained in a nuclear magnetic resonance tomography apparatus, only data for a constant sub-region of an overall dataset, that was obtained from a preceding measurement, are updated by new measured data in subsequent successive measurements (keyhole method). In order to sharply reproduce measurement subjects in the visual display which move from measurement to measurement while only slightly lengthening the registration time in comparison to a standard keyhole measurement sequence, data for difficult sub-regions of the overall dataset are additionally updated from measurement to measurement, and these sub-regions are varied in a predetermined sequence from measurement to measurement.
