20130013280 | LOCALIZATION OF A RADIOACTIVE SOURCE WITHIN A BODY OF A SUBJECT - A system and method is provided for determining a route to a target. The system can include a display device, where the display device can be operable to display a graphical representation of a 3 dimensional model of a portion of a vasculature of a body. Further, the display device can be operable to allow a user to select a target location on the 3 dimensional model. Further still, the display device can be operable to automatically determine an intravascular route to the target location using the 3-dimensional model, or it can be operable to allow the user to manually determine an intravascular route to the target location using the graphical representation of the 3-dimensional model. | 01-10-2013 |
20120323255 | LOCALIZATION OF A RADIOACTIVE SOURCE WITHIN A BODY OF A SUBJECT - A system and method is provided for automatic navigation of medical tools. The system can include a tracking system operable to provide information relating to the position of at least a portion of a tool which is inside a body, and an automated navigation system operable to apply forces upon a portion of the tool. The automated navigation system can include a computer operable to store a 3-dimensional route. Furthermore, the automated navigation system can be operable to use the information relating to the position of at least the portion of the tool from the tracking system to apply calculated forces upon the tool, the calculated forces being associated with movement of the tool along the 3-dimensional route. | 12-20-2012 |
20120323117 | Implantable Medical Marker and Methods of Preparation Thereof - An implantable medical marker, the marker comprising a marker body adapted for insertion via a needle and adapted to define a volume with a smallest dimension larger than an inner diameter of the needle; and a radiation source—characterized by gamma emissions sufficient to exit the human body. | 12-20-2012 |
20120323114 | LOCALIZATION OF A RADIOACTIVE SOURCE WITHIN A BODY OF A SUBJECT - A system and method is provided for guiding the navigation of intravascular medical tools. The system can include a display device operable to store information relating to a 3-dimensional model of a portion of vasculature of a body in a region of the body and operable to store information relating to a 3-dimensional position of a tool, where the tool is located within the portion of the vasculature of the body. In addition, the display device can be operable to display a graphical representation of the 3-dimensional model and a graphical representation of the tool visually integrated with the graphical representation of the 3-dimensional model. Furthermore, the display device can be operable to update at least the graphical representation of the tool based at least in part upon updated information relating to the 3-dimensional position of the tool. | 12-20-2012 |
20100063384 | LOCAL INTRA-BODY DELIVERY SYSTEM - A system for delivery of a capsule to a target location within a subject body including a capsule including a locomotion element and a gamma emitting radioactive source, a radiation tracking subsystem capable of locating the gamma emitting radioactive source in three dimensions, and a locomotion control subsystem capable of controlling movement of the capsule by effecting movement of the locomotion element, based, at least partly, on a location of the gamma emitting radioactive source provided by the radiation tracking subsystem. A method of measuring a velocity of flow of a fluid at a target location within a subject body including inserting a capsule including a locomotion element and a gamma emitting radioactive source into the body, using a radiation tracking subsystem to locate the gamma emitting radioactive source in three dimensions, moving the capsule to the target location within the body using a locomotion control subsystem which controls movement of the capsule by effecting movement of the locomotion element, based, at least partly, on location of the gamma emitting radioactive source provided by the radiation tracking subsystem, and measuring the velocity of flow of the fluid at the target location. Related apparatus and methods are also described. | 03-11-2010 |
20100042041 | IMPLANTATION DEVICE FOR SOFT TISSUE MARKERS AND OTHER IMPLANTS - A device for inserting into body tissue an implant with a medical function, with a channel passing at least partly through the implant, the device comprising:
