US 2024/0389966 A1 · INTERVENTIONAL SYSTEM

Abstract

The invention relates to an interventional system comprising an introduction element like a catheter for being introduced into an object, for instance, a person. A moving unit like a robot moves the introduction element within the object, wherein a tracking image generating unit generates tracking images of the introduction element within the object and wherein a controller controls the tracking image generating unit depending on movement parameters of the moving unit, which are indicative of the movement, such that the tracking images show the introduction element. This control can be performed very accurately based on the known real physical movement of the introduction element such that it is not necessary to, for instance, irradiate a relatively large area of the object for ensuring that the introduction element is really captured by the tracking images, thereby allowing for a reduced radiation dose applied to the object.

Dependent claims

An interventional system comprising:

a robot configured to move an interventional instrument within a patient anatomy from a first region to a second region that is different from the first region, the robot configured to provide movement parameters that define movement of the interventional instrument within the patient anatomy;
an imaging system, external to the patient anatomy, comprising:
an imaging source configured to emit a beam for traversing the patient anatomy, and
an imaging detector configured to detect the beam after having traversed the patient anatomy;
and
a controller configured to:
receive the movement parameters from the robot,
obtain a position of the interventional instrument within the patient anatomy at the second region, and
control imaging parameters of the imaging system based on the position of the interventional instrument and the movement parameters received from the robot, so that the imaging system emits the beam to traverse the second region of the patient anatomy that includes the interventional instrument.
