CA 2565745

Different applications for multiple imaging technologies are provided to advance patient care. In one aspect, a 3-D imaging device is used to identify the location of target region in a patient, such as a tumor or aneurysm, for instance. The location information is then used to control a device used in performing a surgical or other intervention, further imaging or a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure (920). The device can operate fully automatically, as a robot, or can assist a manual procedure performed by a physician. In another aspect, the invention provides a technique for obtaining an improved image of the vasculature in a patient (1020). In another aspect, images from multiple imaging technologies are combined or fused (1120) to achieve synergistic benefits.

L'invention concerne différentes applications de technologies d'imagerie multiples. Dans un aspect, un dispositif d'imagerie tridimensionnelle permet d'identifier l'emplacement d'une zone cible d'un patient, par exemple une tumeur ou un anévrisme. Les informations relatives à l'emplacement permettent ensuite de contrôler un dispositif utilisé dans une intervention chirurgicale ou autre, une autre imagerie, ou une procédure diagnostique ou thérapeutique (920). Ce dispositif fonctionne entièrement automatiquement, comme un robot, ou participe à une procédure manuelle effectuée par un médecin. Dans un autre aspect, l'invention porte sur une technique d'obtention d'une image améliorée du système vasculaire d'un patient (1020). Dans un aspect différent, des images issues de technologies d'imagerie multiples sont combinées ou réunies (1120) afin d'obtenir des bénéfice synergistiques.
