20150119715 | DEVICE FOR GUIDING A MEDICAL IMAGING PROBE AND METHOD FOR GUIDING SUCH A PROBE - A device for guiding a medical imaging probe in order to move the probe close to an anatomical space, the probe having a mechanism for acquiring images of the anatomical space, and the device having at least one sensor mounted to the probe. The device includes a processing mechanism for deducing a rotation of the probe in the space from the signals generated by the sensor and for estimating a plurality of plausible positions of the probe relative to the anatomical space by deducing the rotation of the probe in the space. The processing mechanism is arranged such as to determine the position of the probe relative to the anatomical space from the plausible positions. Also disclosed is a method for guiding the probe. | 04-30-2015 |
20140354792 | ASSISTIVE DEVICE FOR POSITIONING A MEDICAL INSTRUMENT RELATIVE TO AN INTERNAL ORGAN OF A PATIENT - The invention relates to an assistive device for positioning a medical instrument ( | 12-04-2014 |
20140296876 | DEVICE FOR GUIDING A MEDICAL INSTRUMENT INSERTED INTO A NATURAL DUCT OR AN ARTIFICAL DUCT OF A PATIENT - The invention relates to a device for guiding a medical instrument ( | 10-02-2014 |
20120245455 | Control System and Method for Precisely Guiding a Percutaneous Needle Toward the Prostate - A needle holder device for treating the prostate, involving a series of steps of inserting a needle into the prostate, has a rectal probe for ultrasonic 3D imaging and a computer for processing the image acquired by the probe and for computing the position of the needle relative to the prostate. The computer is controlled so as to periodically output information on the movement of the prostate after each of the insertion steps in order to validate the insertion parameters relative to a treatment schedule and, if need be, modifying the insertion parameters relative to the schedule in the event the movement is greater than a threshold value. | 09-27-2012 |
20110081063 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMAGING AND LOCATING PUNCTURES UNDER PROSTATIC ECHOGRAPHY - The present disclosure relates to a prostatic imaging system including steps of recording and processing images acquired by the ultrasonographic head of a rectal probe equipped with an active puncture guide, characterised in that it includes steps of processing at least a part of the images acquired by the probe for calculating transformations to a “reference image” repository relative to the initial position of the prostate, at least a part of the images acquired during the successive punctures including the location of the various positions of the needle being recorded with a view to visualising representations thereof on a single image including at least a part of the prostate. The present disclosure also relates to a system for the prostatic imaging implementing said prostatic imaging method. | 04-07-2011 |
