Cardiac and or respiratory gated image acquisition system and method for virtual anatomy enriched real time 2d imaging in interventional radiofrequency ablation or pace maker replacement procecure

The present invention refers to the field of cardiac electrophysiology (EP) and, more specifically, to image-guided radio frequency ablation and pacemaker placement procedures. For those procedures, it is proposed to display the overlaid 2D navigation motions of an interventional tool intraoperatively obtained from the same projection angle for tracking navigation motions of an interventional tool during an image-guided intervention procedure while being navigated through a patient's bifurcated coronary vessel or cardiac chambers anatomy in order to guide e.g. a cardiovascular catheter to a target structure or lesion in a cardiac vessel segment of the patient's coronary venous tree or to a region of interest within the myocard. In such a way, a dynamically enriched 2D reconstruction of the patient's anatomy is obtained while moving the interventional instrument. By applying a cardiac and / or respiratory gating technique, it can be provided that the 2D live images are acquired during the same phases of the patient's cardiac and / or respiratory cycles. Compared to prior-art solutions which are based on a registration and fusion of image data independently acquired by two distinct imaging modalities, the accuracy of the two-dimensionally reconstructed anatomy is significantly enhanced.

Image processing system

A computer graphics generation system combines video images of a scene captured by a camera with one or more rendered computer generated objects. The system comprises a camera which is arranged to generate an image signal representative of a scene including a reference object of a predetermined shape, and an image processor. The image processor is arranged in operation to identify the reference object from the image signal, to detect a luminance distribution across a surface of the reference object by estimating a luminance magnitude at a plurality of surface points on the surface of the reference object, and to estimate a direction of light incident on the reference object derived from the detected luminance distribution across the surface of the reference object by calculating the average of a plurality of luminance vectors, each luminance vector corresponding to one of the surface points and comprising a luminance magnitude of the corresponding surface point and a luminance direction corresponding to a direction perpendicular to the surface at the corresponding surface point, wherein the luminance distribution across the surface of the reference object is detected for luminance above a threshold clipping level. Accordingly a reduction in the “wobble” of the computer generated objects in the scene can be achieved and a more stable image provided from the image light direction estimation.
