A path preparation system for preparing a path for a device. The path preparation system includes an ultrasound transmitter and a tracking system. The tracking system is configured to determine a current position of the device on the path. The ultrasound transmitter is configured to focus an ultrasound wave onto a focus position that lies in front of the device in the direction of the path, in spatial relation to the current position of the device.

A method includes receiving input data associated with a patient and predicting, using a trained machine learning model, a number of repetitions of a virtual drill to be undertaken by the patient based on the input data. The virtual drill is a virtual representation of a medical procedure to be undergone by the patient. At least one instance of the virtual drill is executed for the patient based on the predicted number of repetitions of the virtual drill, and one or more parameters associated with the patient are captured during the execution of the virtual drill. The one or more parameters depict an emotional response. The prediction of the number of repetitions of the virtual drill to be executed for the patient is modified based on the captured one or more parameters associated with the patient and/or the number of repetitions of the virtual drill executed for the patient.

A computer-implemented method for providing a scene with synthetic contrast includes receiving preoperative image data of an examination region containing a hollow organ, wherein the medical image data images a contrast agent flow in the hollow organ; receiving intraoperative image data of the examination region of the examination subject, wherein the intraoperative image data images a medical object at least partially disposed in the hollow organ, generating the scene with synthetic contrast by applying a trained function to input data, wherein the input data is based on the preoperative image data and the intraoperative image data, wherein the scene with synthetic contrast images a virtual contrast agent flow in the hollow organ taking into account the medical object disposed therein, wherein at least one parameter of the trained function is based on a comparison between a training scene and a comparison scene; and providing the scene with synthetic contrast.

A presentation device for displaying a graphical presentation of an augmented reality is disclosed. The presentation device includes a recording unit, a first display unit, and a processing unit. The recording unit is configured to capture a relative positioning of the first display unit in respect of a presentation area and capture a second set of graphical information. The processing unit is configured to generate an augmented reality based on a received dataset, supply a graphical presentation of the augmented reality by virtual mapping to the presentation area, and adjust the augmented reality and/or the graphical presentation thereof as a function of the second set of graphical information. The first display unit is at least partially transparent and is configured to display the graphical presentation of the augmented reality.

A device for moving a medical object, the device including a mover device and a sensor unit. The mover device is configured to hold and/or move a medical object at least partially disposed in the mover device by transmitting a force. The sensor unit is configured to detect a counterforce exerted by the medical object on the mover device and acting in the opposite direction to the force. The medical object is at least partially disposed in an examination subject. The device is configured to provide a signal as a function of the counterforce. The mover device is configured to move the medical object as a function of the signal.

A therapeutic apparatus for therapeutic ultrasonic treatment of a tissue region that contains a flowing liquid has at least one ultrasonic source and a control unit for activating the ultrasonic source in order to radiate ultrasonic pulses according to a pulse parameter set into the tissue region. The therapeutic apparatus has a measuring system configured to determine a flow velocity of the liquid and a focus control system configured to move a focus region of the ultrasonic pulse relative to the tissue region over a longitudinal portion. A movement direction of the focus region therein corresponds to a flow direction of the liquid and a movement velocity of the focus region corresponds to the flow velocity.

The disclosure relates to a method for recording a panorama dataset of an examination object by a movable medical x-ray device, to a medical x-ray device, and to a computer program product for carrying out the method. The medical x-ray device has an x-ray source, which emits a bundle of x-rays, wherein a first image segment, which maps at least one part of the examination object, is recorded at a first point in time. Position data is acquired, which maps the spatial position of the x-ray device at this first point in time. At least one further image segment along an imaging path is recorded after there has been a movement of the x-ray device, wherein the imaging path lies in one plane, wherein a central ray of the bundle of x-rays emitted by the x-ray source does not run in parallel to the plane in which the imaging path lies. Additionally, position data is acquired, which maps the spatial position of the x-ray device at the time of the recording of the at least one further image segment. The acquired position data is uniquely assigned to the recorded image segments. The panorama dataset is assembled from at least two image segments with the position data assigned thereto from a set of all recorded image segments with the position data assigned thereto.
