Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, due to the positioning of the patient, the accuracy of the combined examination may be affected
For example, moving the positioning of a patient from one imaging modality to another may disturb correlation and / or comparison of data
Additionally, performing invasive treatments during imaging is difficult due to the physical nature of the imaging system

Embodiment Construction

[0018] Various embodiments propose a diagnostic device for increasing accessibility to a patient. For this purpose, a diagnostic device is proposed for combined and / or combinable radiation and nuclear medicine examinations with an x-ray source, with an examination space for accommodating a patient, with a gamma radiation source arranged inside the body, There is a diagnostic device designed to perform radiological examinations by analyzing measurements of X-rays, and to perform single-photon emission (SPE) examinations as nuclear medicine examinations by analyzing gamma radiation, with a detector system, the The detector system has a detector surface for simultaneous measurement of X-ray and gamma radiation without changing the position of the patient and / or the detector system is designed to record separate X-ray projection images for two-dimensional local resolution and object imaging .

Abstract

The invention provides a system and a method for treating patient by using a hybrid imaging system. For example, a first imaging device is used for obtaining a first imaging data of patient; the patient is transported to a second imaging device by a support; the support extends between the first imaging device and the second imaging device; the second imaging device is used for obtaining a secondimaging data of the patient; during the second imaging data obtaining, catheter treatment for the patient is allowed on the second imaging device structure; the first imaging data and the second imaging data are overlapped or fused; and when obtaining the second imaging data, the patient is treated by catheter with the overlapped or fused data.

Description

[0001] claim priority [0002] This application is a continuation-in-part of and claims the benefit of US Application 11 / 598,189, filed November 9, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference. US Application 11 / 598,189 claims the benefit of Degus Application No. 10 2005 053 994.7, filed November 10, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this application. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the invention relate to medical imaging. In particular, systems and methods for treating a patient using a hybrid imaging system are provided. Background technique [0004] Diagnostic devices and digital imaging methods for combined and / or combinable radiation and nuclear medicine examinations are now common means in medical diagnosis. Such methods have been used for some time, for example, in computed tomography, for magnetic resonance examinations, ultrasonography and for nuclear medicine procedures. [0005] However, due to the positioning of the patient, the a...
