Abstract:
1. A treatment device for treating a target location with magnetic nanoparticles, comprising: a magnet system comprising a magnet for generating a magnetic gradient field; an X-ray device for capturing a three-dimensional image dataset showing the target location, the X-ray device comprising a C-arm with an X-ray emitter and an X-ray detector arranged opposite one another thereon; a control device for: a treatment catheter for injecting the magnetic nanoparticles to the target location being guided by the magnetic gradient field; a patient couch for supporting a patient; a rail system that moves the patient couch between the magnet system and the X-ray device having a common z-axis; a mechanical device that is activated for initially adjusting the position of the focus of the magnet gradient field relative to the target position by horizontally and/or vertically displacing the patient couch based on the control parameters; and an articulated-arm robot holding the magnet that is activated for finely adjusting the position of the focus of the magnet gradient field relative to the target position by displacing the magnet based on the control parameters, wherein the registration between the X-ray device and the magnet system is carried out in the common z-axis.
