METHOD OF IDENTIFICATION OF RADIOTHERAPY TARGETS FOR TREATING AND PREVENTING CARDIAC ARRHYTMIAS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20230420113 titled 'METHOD OF IDENTIFICATION OF RADIOTHERAPY TARGETS FOR TREATING AND PREVENTING CARDIAC ARRHYTMIAS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for identifying radiotherapy targets for treating cardiac arrhythmias. The method involves receiving 3D mapping data of a patient's heart and locations of areas to be protected. The method then segments the 3D mapping data based on certain criteria and crops the segmented region based on a predetermined threshold. A 3D volumetric model is generated from the cropped region and stored in an electronic file.

  • The method involves receiving 3D mapping data of a patient's heart and locations of areas to be protected.
  • The 3D mapping data is segmented based on certain criteria.
  • The segmented region is cropped based on a predetermined threshold.
  • A 3D volumetric model is generated from the cropped region.
  • The 3D volumetric model is stored in an electronic file.

Potential Applications

This technology has potential applications in the field of radiotherapy for treating cardiac arrhythmias. It can help in identifying targets for radiotherapy treatment and protecting critical areas of the heart.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of accurately identifying radiotherapy targets for treating cardiac arrhythmias. It allows for precise segmentation and cropping of the 3D mapping data, ensuring that only the relevant regions are considered for treatment.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Accurate identification of radiotherapy targets for treating cardiac arrhythmias.
  • Protection of critical areas of the heart during radiotherapy treatment.
  • Precise segmentation and cropping of 3D mapping data.
  • Generation of a 3D volumetric model for further analysis and planning.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for identifying radiotherapy targets for treating cardiac arrhythmias, which comprises: receiving at least one 3d mapping of points each associated with at least one given feature of a patient's heart and receiving locations of at least one area to be protected, said locations being spatially registered within the reference frame of the 3d mapping; segmenting at least a region in said at least one 3d mapping with selecting a plurality of points of the 3d mapping whose at least one associated given feature matches a predetermined criterion; cropping said segmented region in the 3d mapping with unselecting a plurality of points of the segmented region whose distance to said area to be protected is lower than a predetermined threshold; generating a 3d volumetric model comprising a mesh computed from said cropped region and identified to said cropped region and storing said 3d volumetric model in an electronic file.
