Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus and method for assisting the navigation of, for example, a catheter in a vessel.
- an instrument carried at the tip of a catheter is fed along the path followed by a vessel to an operative site from a point in the vascular system that is easily accessible from outside.
- the desired diagnostic or therapeutic procedures can then be performed with the instrument at the operative site.
- a stent for example, may be placed at the site of a stenosis in an artery or a coronary vessel to widen the constriction in the vessel.
- the procedure is therefore usually observed by means of X-ray fluoroscopy, a clear representation of the vessels being obtained by the injection of a contrast medium.
- contrast medium because of the stress involved on the patient, the amount of contrast medium that can be injected is limited and without a contrast medium the vessels are difficult or quite impossible to see in the X-ray images.
- a further disadvantage is the exposure of the patient to radiation that the X-ray imaging involves and the restriction of what is depicted to regions in which there is blood flowing. The walls of vessels, deposits on the walls of vessels, and surrounding tissue on the other hand are not very accurately imaged.
- the apparatus serves to assist navigation in a vessel.
- a “vessel” in this case is primarily a blood vessel in a volume of biological body matter.
- the invention is not, however, limited to this and can be applied in principle to navigation in vessels or ducts in a more general sense (such as, for example, ducts or passages in the structure of a machine).
- the apparatus comprises the following elements: a) A sensor probe for acquiring local images that characterize the vessel at the point where the particular local image is made, which sensor probe can be moved along the vessel.
- image is to be understood in a wide sense in this connection and covers measurement data of all kinds that reflects the characteristic local attributes of the vessel (e.g. the local electrical resistance in the vessel).
- a data-processing unit that is arranged to sort (at least) one further local image of the vessel into the sequence of local images that is stored in the memory in step b).
- the further local image is preferably obtained by the said sensor probe in this case and is thus of the same type as the local images that have already been stored in the sequence. It is, however, also conceivable for the further local image to be obtained by a different device or in a different way.
- a roadmap of a portion of the vessel is first obtained in steps a) and b) and stored.
- "further" local images obtained at the point currently reached can then be assigned to a point on the roadmap held in store, i.e. the position of the sensor probe or the instrument can be identified on the roadmap.
- the sensor probe is preferably an intravascular ultrasound system (IVUS).
- IVUS intravascular ultrasound system
- Cross-sectional images of the vessel can be obtained with an IVUS, with the cross-sections showing characteristic attributes of the vessel (shape and diameter of the lumen, thickness of the walls of the vessel, deposits on the walls of the vessel, surrounding tissue, etc.) at the imaging point.
- characteristic attributes of the vessel shape and diameter of the lumen, thickness of the walls of the vessel, deposits on the walls of the vessel, surrounding tissue, etc.
- Another advantage of an IVUS is that it can be used to obtain images without the patient being exposed to radiation.
- the cross-sectional images produced by the IVUS are suitable for directly identifying and examining a constriction of the vessel (a stenosis). An IVUS is therefore already being used anyway in many examinations performed by catheter.
- a system for performing optical coherence tomography also constitutes a suitable type of sensor probe because the advantages it has are similar to those of an IVUS.
- OCT optical coherence tomography
- it has a means for moving the sensor probe along the vessel at a defined, and preferably constant, speed.
- a means of this kind can be used to move the sensor probe in a defined way while the latter is making the sequence of local images that are placed in store.
- the speed of movement of the sensor probe is known and the distance traveled by the sensor probe can be determined at any time from this knowledge and can be represented along a straight scale on a straightened-out roadmap of the vessel.
- the apparatus comprises a display for showing the stored sequence of local images, i.e. a "roadmap" of the vessel.
- the data-processing unit is also arranged to show the current position of the sensor probe, and/or the current position of an instrument that is situated in a known position relative to the sensor probe, on the display in roadmap-form.
- a sequence of local images of the section of the vessel that is of interest may, for example, first be made and shown on the display.
- the position of the catheter coupled to the sensor probe, or rather of the catheter tip or a guidewire can then be determined from the position of the sensor probe and shown too on the display to the doctor performing the treatment.
- the invention further relates to a method of assisting navigation in a vessel (vessel in the sense explained above), that comprises the following steps: a) Movement, along the vessel, of a sensor probe for making local images (images in the sense explained above) that characterize the vessel at the point where the particular local image is made. b) Generation and storage of a sequence of local images by means of the sensor probe during the movement in step a). c) Sorting of (at least) one further local image of the vessel, which is preferably also made by the sensor probe, into the sequence that is stored step in b).
- a method of this kind can be carried out with the apparatus described above, in which case the advantages described there of simple, accurate, low-stress navigation in a vessel by means of a roadmap of the vessel are obtained.
- intravascular ultrasound images are in principle all kind of measurement data or sets of measurement data that cover characteristic attributes at a point in the vessel and preferably vary (continuously) along the vessel, thus making them suitable for identifying/giving the parameters of the position in the vessel.
- intravascular ultrasound images are used as local images of the vessel. On the one hand these can be obtained with only minimal stress on the patient and on the other they provide valuable information on constrictions in vessels. Intravascular ultrasound images are therefore already being used anyway in many examinations performed by catheter.
- step a) of the method the movement of the sensor probe preferably takes place at a defined (and preferably constant) speed, while in step b) the generation of local images during the movement takes place at a defined (and preferably constant) rate.
- the locations of the local images making up the sequence can then be determined and shown to scale on a one-dimensional, straightened-out roadmap of the vessel. If, for example, the movement takes place at a constant speed and the generation of local images takes place at a constant rate, the local images making up the sequence will be equidistant from one another on the roadmap.
- step c There are various possible way in which the sorting of a further local image into the sequence of local images stored previously that is undertaken in step c) may be implemented.
- the sorting is performed by assigning the further local image
- the similarity between the further local image and the local images making up the sequence (or some of these images) is quantified with the help of the scale of similarity.
- What is assigned to the further local image is, for example, that local image in the sequence that is most similar, i.e., for which the reading on the scale of similarity is a maximum.
- the maximum in relation to the sequence in this case may be overall (of all the images in the sequence, the image that is assigned is the one that has the greatest similarity to the further image) or local (only in a portion of the sequence is the image that is assigned the one that has the greatest similarity to the further image).
- step c) sorting of a further local image into the sequence held in store
- step c) sorting of a further local image into the sequence held in store
- step c) sorting of a further local image into the sequence held in store
- the search for a sorted position in the sequence of local images held in store, for an image in this series, beginning in each case at the sorted position that was assigned to the previous image in the series.
- Initialization of the sorting procedure in this way is found to be advantageous if a series of further local images between which there is a temporal connection is to be sorted into the sequence held in store. This is because, in this case, the position of an image in the series will, as a rule, differ only slightly or not at all from the position of the previous image in the series. The position of the previous image therefore represents a good approximation of the position of the subsequent image in the series, which means that a search that begins with it will be successful more quickly.
- the local images in the sequence held in store are shown on the display, in line with their positions along the vessel, as a roadmap of the vessel. Also, the sorted position in the sequence calculated for the further local image can be superimposed on the same display. The current position of the sensor probe or of an instrument connected thereto can therefore be tracked clearly on the display in relation to the roadmap.
- Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view of the production of a vessel roadmap with the help of an intravascular ultrasound system (IVUS).
- IVUS intravascular ultrasound system
- Fig. 2 shows the positioning of a stent in the system shown in Fig. 1.
- the invention is illustrated in the Figures by taking as an example the positioning of a stent 11 for treating a stenosis 4 in a vessel 2 (e.g. a coronary vessel) of a patient. It is important for the successful insertion of a stent that it should be positioned exactly at the stenosis that is to be treated.
- the stent is usually advanced, at the tip of a catheter 1, along a guidewire while repeated X-ray images are made, accompanied by the injection of a contrast medium, to allow the correct position to be determined. What is disadvantageous about this procedure is the stress on the patient caused by the contrast medium and exposure to radiation caused by the X-ray images.
- a roadmap of the portion of the vessel 2 that is of interest is first produced in accordance with the invention.
- the exact position of the stent in relation to the current position of the TVUS probe 3 can then be determined with the help of this roadmap.
- the production of the roadmap will first be explained in detail by reference to Fig. 1.
- FIG. 1 Shown in Fig. 1 is a portion of a vessel 2 that is of interest, in which there is a stenosis 4 requiring treatment.
- An IVUS probe 3 has been inserted into the vessel 2 by means
- IVUS probe is pulled back in the direction of the block arrow to an end point ⁇ 2 , preferably at a constant speed, which may, for example, be done by a diagrammatically indicated means 9 outside the patient's body.
- local images 5 are generated at a constant rate by the IVUS probe 3. What is achieved by the combination of a constant speed of pullback and a constant imaging rate is that local cross-sectional images 5 are generated at lengthwise distances d along the vessel 2 that are all the same.
- the images 5 generated by the TVUS probe 3 are received by a data- processing unit 7 and are stored in a memory 8. If required, geometrical corrections may be applied to the IVUS images to allow, for example, for the overall configuration of the vessel, which may be known from an existing X-ray image made with contrast medium. Particularly where coronary vessels are being examined, ECG data may also be used to enable IVUS images matched to the cardiac phase to be selected.
- the data-processing unit 7 is coupled to a display 6 on which a representation of the sequence of local images 5 that are obtained as the probe 3 is pulled back is shown. The portion of vessel examined is shown straightened out when this is done because, by itself, the FVUS probe 3 does not provide any information on the complex three-dimensional configuration of the vessel. It would, it is true, be possible for the portion of vessel to be shown in three-dimensional form with the help of X-ray images, but this is not necessary for tasks such as the positioning of a stent.
- starting point x and the end point x 2 of the pullback of the probe 3 may be represented in various ways, hi the Figures, it is indicated by way of example that the diameters of the vessel 2 calculated from the local images 5 are used to show a (straightened-out) longitudinal section through the vessel.
- the stenosis 4 can be seen particularly clearly in this "roadmap" of the vessel.
- Fig. 2 The use, during the positioning of a stent 11, of the roadmap that is obtained is shown in Fig. 2.
- the stent 11 is situated in this case on the catheter 1 at a known, constant distance from the IVUS probe 3.
- Local cross-sectional images 10 are again made with the TVUS probe 3 at the respective points at which the probe 3 is located at the time and are conveyed to the data-processing unit 7.
- suitable gray-value based registration techniques as described, for example, in: D.L.G. Hill et al., Medical Image Registration, Phys. Med. Biol. 46(3), 2001; J.B.A. Maintz, M.A. Viergever, A survey of medical image registration, Med. hnag. Anal. 2(1), 1998; J.
- the registration of the current cross-sectional image 10 gives the current position of the sensor probe 3 in relation to the roadmap formed by the sequence of earlier cross-sectional images 5 that were obtained as shown in Fig. 1. Because the position of the stent 11 in relation to the probe 3 is known, the current position of the stent 11 on the roadmap is known too.
- the data-processing unit 7 is therefore able to show on the display 6 both a model 3' of the TVUS probe 3 and a model 11' of the stent 11 at the corresponding position on the roadmap. This gives the doctor a very good check on the actual position of the stent 11, thus enabling him to position the latter in the stenosis 4 with great accuracy.
