REPRODUCIBLE POSITIONING OF SENSING AND/OR TREATMENT DEVICES

摘要

The present invention provides a repositioning system (10) for positioning a sensing and/or treatment device (6) at a target location (16), the repositioning system (10) comprising an imaging system (2) for identifying a target location (16) having a marker (12) on a body part (11) of a human being or an animal, thereby obtaining a reference image (13) ofthe target location (16), and for acquiring at least one measured image (14) of the target location (16).The imaging system (2) furthermore comprises registration means (3) for registering the at least one measured image (14) to the reference image (13), and signal generating means for generating a driving signal (5) indicative of the target location direction when spatial alignment between the at least one measured image (14) and reference image (13) is not approached within a predetermined threshold value. The repositioning system (10) furthermore comprises actuator means (4) for driving the sensing and/or treatment device (6) to guide it towards the target location thereby using the driving signal (5). The present invention also provides a method for making such a repositioning system (10) and a method for positioning a sensing and/or treatment device (6) on a target location (16) on a body part (11) of a human being or an animal by using such a repositioning system (10).
