The catheter is inserted into the heart area of a patient with electrophysiological data, as part of a cardiological investigation or treatment. A current position of the catheter is localized with fluoroscopy-aided. The current position of the catheter and the electrophysiological data of the patient are blended into a three-dimensional volumetric image of a structure of the heart for the combined three-dimensional image display. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20100061611 | CO-REGISTRATION OF CORONARY ARTERY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY AND FLUOROSCOPIC SEQUENCE - A method for displaying real-time imagery of coronary arteries including a chronic total occlusion (CTO) includes acquiring three-dimensional image data of coronary arteries using a three-dimensional medical imaging device, wherein the three-dimensional image data includes imagery of the CTO. A radiocontrast agent is administered to a patient. Real-time image data of the coronary arteries are acquired using one or more fluoroscopes. The real-time image data does not include imagery of the CTO and down-stream vessel structure. The three-dimensional image data is co-registered with the real-time image data using an image processing device within a vicinity of the CTO. The co-registered image data are displayed in real-time using a display device to accurately illustrate the location of the CTO within the context of the real-time image data. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20100292565 | MEDICAL IMAGING MEDICAL DEVICE NAVIGATION FROM AT LEAST TWO 2D PROJECTIONS FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES - In a method or system for performing an image-assisted medical procedure involving placing a medical device in a 3D human subject, at least first and second 2D projected images are obtained of the 3D subject at a respective first angle and at a respective second angle, the 3D subject having at least one of the points selected from the group consisting of a start point and an end point for guidance of the medical device. At least one of the start point and the end point are identified in each of the first and second 2D images. 3D positions of at least one of the start point and the end point are calculated. At least one of these start and end point 3D positions are overlaid as a back-projection to a live 2D image. The procedure is performed utilizing the live 2D image with at least one of the start and end points as a guide to place the medical device. The medical device may comprise, for example, a wire or a needle. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20080233359 | Method For Producing a Component Provided With a Multipart Cover Layer and Said Component - The invention relates to a method for the production of a component having a multipart cover layer and also to a component having a multilayer cover layer. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080309109 | Method For Producing A Component, A Tool For Carrying Out Said Method And The Component - A method for production of a component in a tool having a cavity-forming first and a second tool half comprises the following steps: a) insertion at least of two skins with angled-over end regions into the second tool half such that the angled-over end regions of the skins are situated adjacently with the same orientation and angling; b) rear-foaming or rear-spraying of the skins with a foam material or injection moulding material, c) after insertion of the skins, the end regions of the skins being pressed together in a foam-tight or spray-tight manner at least in regions by pressing at least on one side of the end regions which are situated one above the other against a wall which determines the form and position of the pressed-together end regions. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20100181794 | PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A COMPOSITE PART WITH MULTI-PART OUTER LAYER, AND COMPOSITE PART - The invention relates to a process for the production of a composite part with a multi-part outer layer and with a foam layer bonded on the reverse side to the outer layer, in particular internal cladding of a vehicle, and also to a composite part. The inventive process comprises the following steps: a) arrangement of a first skin and of a second skin with angled-off end regions on the surface of a mould in such a way that the angled-off end regions of the first and second skin have firstly been oriented away from the surface of the mould and secondly are adjacent to one another; b) application of a reduced pressure in the region of the position of the angled-off end regions, in such a way that the angled-off end regions are pressed two-dimensionally against one another; c) reverse-side foaming of the first and second skin with a foam composition. The inventive process permits the simple production of visually attractive composite parts with multi-part outer layer. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20110198021 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR LAMINATING A SUBSTRATE LAYER WITH A DECORATIVE LAYER - A method for laminating a substrate component to a thermally deformable decorative layer in a tool in which, for laminating, the decorative layer is held so as to be pre-tensioned in a holding device or in the tool and is placed on a substrate layer that rests on the tool, where prior to placing the decorative layer on the substrate component the second side of a moulding contour piece that can be moved relative to the decorative layer is made to contact the pre-heated decorative layer, and by way of a further relative movement of the decorative layer relative to the holding device deforms the decorative layer in one section. | 08-18-2011 |
