Definitions
- the invention is in the field of imaging, in particular in the field of intraoperative, interventional and diagnostic imaging with hand-held detectors.
- CT computed tomography
- SPECT single photon emission computed tomography
- PET positron emission tomography
- MR / PET systems Another advantage of MR / PET systems is that, in some implementations, data acquisition from MR and PET can be run in concert. This prevents a poor correlation by intervening deformation or movement of the patient and by different storage.
- a common recording is understood to mean a recording where the recording of two imaging modalities overlaps at least during one time interval.
- PET images can be acquired before and after the MRI scan, or even simultaneously with the MRI scan.
- MR imaging may take place before or after PET imaging or simultaneously with it.
- ultrasound systems have recently been upgraded to load and display PET / CT or SPECT / CT data. These ultrasound systems are often upgraded with positioning systems in order to be able to position and orient the ultrasound probe in real time. Registration methods such as point-based registration or intensity-based registration associate the CT data with the ultrasound images, and thus generate PET / ultrasound equivalent or SPECT / ultrasound-equivalent PET or SPECT-to-CT registration and computed CT-to-ultrasound registration become. Examples of such a system is the GE system Logiq E9 or the system of European patent application EP2104919 A2.
- a freehand SPECT system was upgraded to additionally track an ultrasound probe (T. Wendler, T. Lasser, J. Traub, SI Ziegler, N. Navab, Freehand SPECT / ultrasound fusion for hybrid image-guided resection Proceedings of the Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine - EANM 2009, Barcelona, Spain, October 2009).
- T. Wendler, T. Lasser, J. Traub, SI Ziegler, N. Navab Freehand SPECT / ultrasound fusion for hybrid image-guided resection Proceedings of the Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine - EANM 2009, Barcelona, Spain, October 2009.
- This prototype had the problem of sequentiality of data acquisition: first, a freehand SPECT image was embarrassed, and only then took the ultrasound images. The image quality was not very good, as there were deformations and movements of the patient between both shots. Furthermore, the demands on the image quality of the freehand SPECT were high, so that an image reconstruction which only achieved resolutions of> 7mm only on the gamma probe measurements and the position and orientation of the gamma probe could only visualize large contrasts ,
- US Pat. No. 6,628,984 describes a hand-held gamma camera which is tracked to reconstruct tomographic images. These images can be understood as 3D nuclear images such as freehand SPECT or freehand PET images and, according to the inventors, can also be registered with ultrasound images. This approach is basically the same as what has been implemented in commercial ultrasound systems and discussed above. It collects the data sequentially, and suffers from problems with movements and deformations in the patient. Since this system is similar to the above-mentioned hands-free SPECT system of T. Wendler et al. is expected, in a real implementation, even low resolutions and poor contrast.

- Figure 14 shows another embodiment of the invention where the nuclear tracking system (40) and the ultrasound tracking system (50) are a single tracking system.
- a hybrid system of a nuclear medicine system and an ultrasound system is proposed, the advantages of nuclear medicine (functional diagnostics especially of herpes, possibility for flexible and individual handling hand-held detectors, no magnetic fields and thus use of sensitive electronic Peripheral systems) and ultrasound (excellent soft tissue contrast, very high spatial resolution, flexibility, low cost) on a common system combined. Both image modalities can be recorded in a common data acquisition, and connected, and thus created the possibility for a compensation of movement and deformation, especially in sequential recordings.
- the proposed system and method according to embodiments is the combination of a hands-free nuclear medicine system (such as hands-free SPECT or hands-free PET) and an ultrasound system using a common reference system.
- a nuclear radiation detector and an ultrasonic probe are functionally connected, wherein the position and orientation of the nuclear radiation detector and the ultrasonic probe are each detected by a positioning system in real time. From the measurements (detected radiation and ultrasonic signals) of both systems and the information of the position and orientation of the radiation detector and the ultrasonic probe to the common reference become 3D Tomographic images of the radiation distribution generated in a living being or subject. These images are further visualized together with the ultrasound signals in the form of a hybrid image.
- a combination of nuclear detection and ultrasound detection enables functional data (such as freehand SPECT or freehand PET images) and anatomical images (such as generated from the ultrasound signals) to be acquired, reconstructed, and in real time or quasi-real time visualize.
- functional data such as freehand SPECT or freehand PET images
- anatomical images such as generated from the ultrasound signals
- one can do the data acquisition and visualization in one step i. you can collect the images of the different modalities together within a few seconds, or even at the same time, if you use ultrasound probe and nuclear radiation detector at the same time or if both are integrated in a probe.
- the cost of implementing such a system is expected to be significantly lower than the cost of a PET / CT, SPECT / CT or MR / PET.
- Embodiments of the present invention are suitable for solving the problem by the included 3D image reconstruction (in the sense of freehand SPECT or freehand PET), the images of the gamma camera together or combined with the images of the endoscope and the To be able to represent ultrasound.
- the nuclear image is a 3D image, which allows a fusion or superimposition to take place from the ultrasound sectional image and the otherwise projective nuclear information.
- Permanently installed or stationary 3D nuclear medical imaging devices are generally unsuitable for use in embodiments of the invention because they are not flexible for intraoperative or interventional use and Moreover, they do not allow for joint data acquisition of ultrasound and nuclear detector measurements due to their construction (as a gantry).
- image is understood to include, for at least one image segment of the image, information about the distribution of a nuclear source and information from an ultrasonic signal as a function of position, ie an assignment H (x, y, z), in which, in an area in space for the coordinates x, y, z, the assignment H comprises at least two values, and thereby indicates at least one radioactivity density and echogenicity (value of an ultrasound image).
- the quality of the images of a free hand nuclear medicine imaging is highly user dependent. For this reason, it generally requires an evaluation system which preferably continuously calculates the quality of the nuclear image and, based on this, decides whether the current database is sufficient for presentation in accordance with a defined or desired quality.
- an evaluation system which preferably continuously calculates the quality of the nuclear image and, based on this, decides whether the current database is sufficient for presentation in accordance with a defined or desired quality.
- an (for example optical or acoustic) instruction system for the user, so that the user can use the instruction to optimize the quality of the resulting nuclear image.
- the nominal position and orientation of the nuclear radiation detector (20) are used in the invention for calculating at least one nuclear image quality value, preferably in a continuous manner.
- an instruction is given to the user, or optionally to a robot carrying the detector, preferably continuously - to achieve movement of the nuclear radiation detector to the desired position (s) and orientation (s). which allow or achieve an optimization of the quality value.
- non-dimensional movement and / or deformation of the article or animal (80) during measurement potentially has a very negative effect on the quality of the nuclear image obtained.
- the present invention implements one or more fixation devices (82) so that the article or animal (80) remains fixedly stable during measurement. In this way, the quality of the nuclear image can be guaranteed.
- the nuclear detector (20) detects radiation sent in the form of nuclear detector measurements (21) to the data acquisition module (60).
- These detector measurements may be single radiation values, such as in the case where the radiation detector is a gamma probe.
- the individual radiation values are all gamma photons within an energy window in a time interval of one second, ie the so-called "counts per second" (CPS) .
- the detector measurements can also be 2D images, as in the case of that Nuclear Radiation Detector is a hand-held gamma camera. The gamma camera images would indicate the count rate of each pixel of the camera.
- the position and orientation of the nuclear detector (20), i. the nuclear detector coordinates (41) are detected by the nuclear tracking system (40). These are usually a vector with a 3D position and 3 Euler angles. Alternatively, you can also represent a 4D quaternion around the 3 Euler angles numerically more stable.
- Both the detector measurements (21) and nuclear detector coordinates (41) are detected by the data acquisition module (60).
- the data acquisition module (60) may synchronize this data.
- each detector measurement can be assigned a nuclear detector coordinate.
- One possible implementation of this is the use of tables where all captured data is stored and then assigning algorithms, assigning each detector measurement to the nearest nuclear detector coordinate.
- the nuclear detector measurements (21) and nuclear detector coordinates (41) can be assigned in a further embodiment of the invention by own time stamping a common clock, own clocks with known time differences or assuming a known transmission delay to each other become.
- these data may be stored in a so-called ring buffer with its own timestamps or new timestamps given by the data acquisition module (60) and assigned as needed.
- the "ring" in the name comes from the fact that old measurements are overwritten after a certain time.
- Another embodiment of the invention may include interpolation algorithms, such as linear interpolation algorithms or cubic interpolation algorithms or time domain filters, such as Kalman filters or particle filters, for better assignment of detector measurements (21 ) and Nuclear Detector Coordinates (41).
- interpolation algorithms such as linear interpolation algorithms or cubic interpolation algorithms or time domain filters, such as Kalman filters or particle filters, for better assignment of detector measurements (21 ) and Nuclear Detector Coordinates (41).
- the ultrasound probe (30) provides ultrasound signals (31) such as linear measurements (A-mode ultrasound), 2D images (B-mode ultrasound), 2D Doppler images (normal Doppler , Power Doppler, etc), Elastography images or 3D images, among others
- the position and orientation of the ultrasound probe (30) is also detected by a tracking system, namely the ultrasound tracking system (50).
- the ultrasound signals (31) and the ultrasound probe coordinates (51) are also sent to the data acquisition module (60) and, in one embodiment of the invention, can be used with the nuclear detector measurements (21) and the nuclear Detector coordinates (41) are synchronized.
- the data acquisition module (60) may preprocess all data designated by the data acquisition module (60) collectively referred to as "complete data” (61), such as through the use of filters clear “outliers” or different known noise signals from the complete data (61).
- the complete data (61), whether preprocessed, synchronized or untouched, is then sent to the image reconstruction module (70).
- This module has several tasks in embodiments:
- a volume for the image reconstruction This may be predetermined, but may also be calculated from the nuclear detector coordinates (41) and the ultrasonic probe coordinates (51) by accumulating which 3D positions most frequently from the nuclear detector (20) and / or the ultrasonic probe (30) were detected. For a calibration of the two hand parts is necessary to assign to where the field of view of the two hand parts are located in each case relative to the elements which are detected by the respective tracking systems. Further methods of calculating the volume for the image reconstruction can be found in the German application 102011053708.2 by one of the inventors of this invention.
- the image reconstruction module (70) may also comprise a scatter map from n ultrasound signals (31) and the ultrasound probe coordinates (51) to calculate. Other tasks of the image reconstruction module (70) may include segmentation of organs or parts thereof, compensation for movement, etc.
- the nuclear image reconstruction module (70) may use conventional image reconstruction techniques, such as iterative image reconstruction techniques. Pre-processing of the input data or post-processing of the reconstructed image data may also be implemented in the nuclear image reconstruction module (70).
- Examples of such preprocessing methods are plausibility methods that detect non-plausible measurements, filtering methods that smooth out potential noise in the recordings, information calculation methods that calculate the area where the calculation of the nuclear image has sufficient information, etc. Details such as nuclear Image can be calculated and how such filters can be applied, can be found in the German applications 102008025151 from a subgroup of the inventors of this invention. Further details are also in the German application 102011053708.2 of one of the inventors of this invention.
- FIG. 1 shows embodiments of the invention in which the nuclear tracking system (40) and the ultrasound tracking system (50) are the same system.
- the nuclear radiation detector (20) is a conventional gamma probe that detects gamma radiation in the energy range 27-364 keV and has a lateral shield, so basically only radiation from a narrow cone in the direction of the major axis the gamma probe is measured.
- the nuclear measurements are count rates in CPS.
- the nuclear radiation detector (20) is tracked by an optical passive localization system, here the implementation of the nuclear tracking system (40).
- the nuclear tracking system (40) consists of a stationary tracking system part (42), Here, for example, two infrared cameras with synchronized infrared LEDs and a movable Nachriossystem part, here eg infrared reflectors on the nuclear detector (43) and on the ultrasonic probe (54).
- the transformation from the nuclear tracking system (40) to the infrared reflectors on the nuclear detector (43) - transformation T2 - is determined in real time by the nuclear tracking system (40).
- the ultrasonic tracking system (40) which in this embodiment is the same as the ultrasonic tracking system (50), also tracks the ultrasonic probe (30). For this, it is upgraded with infrared reflectors (54). Thus, the transformation T3 - from the nuclear tracking system (40) to the infrared reflectors on the ultrasonic probe (44) can also be determined.
- Figure 3 shows an embodiment of the invention as in Figure 2 with the difference that one uses a reference for the object or living thing (81).
- This reference is tracked by the common tracking system, so that the transformation from the nuclear tracking system (40) to the infrared reflectors on the Reference to the object or animal (45) - transformation T5 - determined by the tracking system.
- T6 can also be determined.
- the complete data (61) can be converted in a common coordinate system.
- the object or creature (80) can move rigidly without the need for new data. Furthermore, the tracking system can also move without losing the validity of the previously collected data.
- Figure 4 shows a fixing device (82) to hold the article or the living being (80) stable in embodiments stable during the measurement of nuclear radiation.
- Non-rigid motions and deformations are not compensated for using the reference (81) for the object or animal (80). For this reason, it makes sense to stably hold the article or living thing (80) stationary while measuring the nuclear radiation.
- the fixation s device to hold the article or the living being (80) stable in embodiments stable during the measurement of nuclear radiation.
- Figure 5 shows a fixation device (82), which also includes the reference for an article or animal.
- the fixation device (82) can be selected from the group consisting of: a. mechanical mounts, b. Vacuum cushions, c. on the surface or part of these rigid masks tailor-made by the article or animal (80), d. Materials which become solid under electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields but are deformable in their absence, e. Materials which become solid in a temperature or pressure range but are deformable outside it, f. or a combination of these fixation devices.
- Figure 6 shows a manner of generating a hybrid image from a reconstructed 3D nuclear image (71) and a 2D ultrasound image according to embodiments.
- the 3D nuclear image (71) and an ultrasound image (here the execution of the ultrasound signals (31)) are converted to the same coordinates.
- the plane of the ultrasound image is then cut with the volume of the 3D nuclear image.
- a 2D nuclear image is generated, which can then be superimposed on the ultrasound image.
- the resulting image is thus a 2D ultrasound image (e.g., in gray colors) on which in the region of intersection of the nuclear image and the ultrasound signals (12) e.g. color (in Fig. 6 shown in gray scale for technical reasons) the radioactivity distribution of the 3D nuclear image (71) is superimposed.
- Figure 7 shows a sequence of steps as embodiments of the invention can be used.
- a first step an ultrasound image is taken by moving the ultrasound probe (30).
- the nuclear detector is moved and nuclear-detector measurements are taken.
- the nuclear Detector a detector that detects radiation in the energy range 27-364 keV, so that one can speak in the resulting nuclear imaging of freehand SPECT.
- a second ultrasound scan is taken in the proposed sequence of steps. It serves to detect deformations and movements of the living or object (80) and according to this, the nuclear-detector coordinates can be adjusted to compensate for this deformation and movements.
- a 3D nuclear image (71) is reconstructed with the information of deformation and motion, and then the ultrasound signals and the 3D nuclear image are fused.
- Figure 8 shows another sequence of steps where, in contrast to the sequence of steps of Figure 7, the ultrasound scan and the hands-free SPECT scan are in parallel. This is possible by either simultaneously moving the nuclear detector (20) and ultrasonic probe (30) or mechanically coupling them. Two possible implementations of this mechanical coupling are shown in Figures 7 and 8.
- FIG. 9 shows a mechanically coupled nuclear-detector-ultrasound-probe pair according to embodiments.
- ultrasonic emitter / detectors such as piezoelectric crystals are applied. These can generate ultrasound images in connection with ultrasound electronics (35) and a computer unit (not shown).
- a collimator (27) which transmits only nuclear radiation from one direction into the detector material from the nuclear radiation s detector (24).
- Side shielding is achieved by shielding from the nuclear radiation detector (26).
- the nuclear radiation coming to the detector material (24) is then detected and the resulting signal processed by the electronics from the nuclear radiation detector (26) in nuclear detector measurements (21).
- FIG. 10 shows another embodiment of a mechanically coupled nuclear detector ultrasonic probe pair.
- the nuclear detector (20) is even an "OD" detector.
- the ultrasonic probe (30) here consists of a ring of ultrasound emitters / detectors, which the collimator (27) and the material of the nuclear detector (24) are placed.
- FIG. 11 shows how one can obtain information from an ultrasound signal (31), in this case a power Doppler ultrasound image, according to embodiments, which can then be used in image reconstruction.
- the information here is a segmentation of areas where blood is located (72a) and where soft tissue is located (72b). This information can be used as a priori information in the image reconstruction. Details of how a priori information can be included in image reconstruction are found in German application 102008025151 by a subgroup of the inventors of this invention and in German application 102011053708.2 by one of the inventors of this invention.
- Figure 12 shows how to obtain other information according to embodiments from an ultrasound signal (31), here a B-mode ultrasound image.
- the B-mode ultrasound image is processed and converted to a debuff card by matching "look-up tables" which associate the echogenicity with an X-ray attenuation.
- One possible processing may be segmentation of tissues where also a priori knowledge, eg what the anatomy under consideration looks like in the ultrasound, and what anatomical variability (such as in shape, echogenicity, size, etc.) can be expected
- the methods of performing this segmentation are not further specified in this invention
- the segmentation thus results in different regions (72a, 72b, 72c, 72d) with different attenuations, and this attenuation map can then be used in image reconstruction, and corresponding details on how to incorporate attenuation maps into image reconstruction.
- FIG. 13 shows practical implementations of embodiments of the invention.
- a nuclear detector (20) here a wireless gamma probe, sends nuclear detector measurements (21) to the data acquisition module (60), which is split into two (60a and 60b).
- the nuclear tracking system (40) detects the nuclear detector coordinates and, by means of an optical camera system (42) and passive reflectors on the nuclear detector (43) and on the reference of the object or animals (44) reference coordinate.
- An electromagnetic tracking system here the ultrasonic tracking system (50), consists of a field generator (52) and electromagnetic sensors on the ultrasonic probe (53) and the reference of the object or animal (54).
- the ultrasonic signals (31), as well as the ultrasonic probe coordinates (51) and reference coordinates are detected by the data acquisition module (60).
- the complete data is then sent to the reconstruction module (70) and displayed on the display (90) to the user after image reconstruction.
- Figure 14 shows a simplified variant of the system of Figure 13.
- the nuclear detector (20) is a hand-held gamma camera which has no parasitic effects on the electromagnetic tracking system and thus can be tracked by this.
- the nuclear tracking system (40) and the ultrasonic tracking system (50) are only one in this embodiment.
- a combined nuclear and ultrasound system for hybrid imaging (10) is proposed. It includes
- a nuclear tracking system for tracking the nuclear radiation detector (20) during the measurement of nuclear radiation and for obtaining nuclear radiation detector coordinates representing a position of the tracked nuclear radiation detector in relation to an image coordinate system of a hybrid image
