Abstract

See full text

In a method and an apparatus for implementing a gastric artery chemical embolization (GACE) catheterization procedure, an x-ray imaging system obtains a first current image data set of the patient prior to implementing the GACE procedure, and a second current image data set that shows the blood vessels that supply the fundus of the subject. The first and second current image data sets are fused to form a first fusion image data set. A second fusion image data set is then formed by fusion of the first fusion image data set with a catheter-position-indicating data set, obtained during the GACE procedure. The second fusion image data set is displayed during the GACE procedure or control data for a lightweight robot, used to operate and guide the catheter, can be derived from the second fusion image data set.
