METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REGISTRATION AND GUIDANCE OF INTRAVASCULAR TREATMENT

摘要

A system and method for intravascular treatment planning and therapy on a patient. The system includes a structure for holding a treatment source, such as a radiation source, and also moving the treatment source through a patient's vascular system using a positioning device which includes a component to establish the location relative to a particular reference position. An imaging device is also disposed in association with a vascular treatment area and the treatment source to register the resulting image information, enabling formation of three dimensional image in real time for use by a clinician.
