==SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF VISUALIZING A MEDICAL DEVICE RELATIVE TO A TARGET - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20230145801 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF VISUALIZING A MEDICAL DEVICE RELATIVE TO A TARGET

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes systems and methods for visualizing a tool relative to a lesion using fluoroscopic images. Here are the key points:

* The system processes current fluoroscopic images to determine the locations and orientations of a tool and a lesion.
* This is done by generating a 3D reconstruction of the fluoroscopic images or a subset of them.
* The system then creates a 3D rendering based on the locations and orientations of the tool and the lesion.
* The rendered image is displayed to provide a visual representation of the tool's position relative to the lesion.
* The tool and lesion locations/orientations can be marked by a user in the 3D reconstruction or fluoroscopic images.
* Alternatively, the system can segment the 3D reconstruction or fluoroscopic images to obtain the tool and lesion information.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Medical procedures: This system can be used during surgical or interventional procedures to help visualize the tool's position relative to a lesion, aiding in accurate placement and treatment.
* Radiology: Radiologists can use this system to better understand the relationship between tools and lesions in fluoroscopic images, improving diagnosis and treatment planning.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Accurate visualization: By processing and rendering the fluoroscopic images, this system provides a clear and accurate visualization of the tool's position relative to the lesion.
* Improved guidance: Surgeons and radiologists can use this system to guide their actions and make more informed decisions during procedures, leading to better outcomes.

Benefits of this technology:

* Enhanced precision: The 3D rendering allows for a more precise understanding of the tool's position and orientation relative to the lesion, reducing the risk of errors.
* Real-time visualization: The system can process current fluoroscopic images in real-time, providing immediate feedback to the user.
* User-friendly interface: The user interface enables easy marking of tool and lesion locations/orientations, making it accessible to medical professionals with varying levels of expertise.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

systems and methods of visualizing a current view of a tool relative to a lesion by processing current fluoroscopic images from a current fluoroscopic sweep occurring after an initial fluoroscopic sweep. the processing includes determining the locations and/or orientations of a tool and a lesion in a current 3d reconstruction of the current fluoroscopic images or in a subset of the current fluoroscopic images, generating a 3d rendering based on the locations and/or orientations of the tool and the lesion, and displaying the 3d rendering. the locations and/or orientations of the tool and the lesion may be obtained from a user interface enabling a user to mark the current locations and/or orientations in the current 3d reconstruction or in a subset of the current fluoroscopic images, or by segmenting the current 3d reconstruction or a subset of the current fluoroscopic images.
