INTRAVASCULAR DEVICE MOVEMENT SPEED GUIDANCE AND ASSOCIATED DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240008828 titled 'INTRAVASCULAR DEVICE MOVEMENT SPEED GUIDANCE AND ASSOCIATED DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed medical system includes a medical processing unit that is connected to an intravascular instrument and a radiographic imaging source. The intravascular instrument can be moved longitudinally within a body lumen, and the radiographic imaging source obtains radiographic images of the instrument during its movement. The medical processing unit receives these images, tracks the instrument within the images, calculates its movement speed based on the tracking, compares it to a predefined target speed, generates a speed-adjustment suggestion based on the comparison, and outputs it to a display for user review.

  • The medical system includes a medical processing unit, an intravascular instrument, and a radiographic imaging source.
  • The intravascular instrument can be moved longitudinally within a body lumen.
  • The radiographic imaging source obtains radiographic images of the intravascular instrument during its movement.
  • The medical processing unit receives the radiographic images and tracks the instrument within the images.
  • The movement speed of the instrument is calculated based on the tracking.
  • The calculated movement speed is compared to a predefined target speed.
  • A speed-adjustment suggestion is generated based on the comparison.
  • The speed-adjustment suggestion is outputted to a display for user review.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Intravascular imaging and tracking during medical procedures.
  • Assisting medical professionals in monitoring and adjusting the movement speed of intravascular instruments.
  • Enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of intravascular procedures.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Difficulty in accurately tracking and monitoring the movement of intravascular instruments during procedures.
  • Lack of real-time feedback on the movement speed of intravascular instruments.
  • Potential risks associated with improper movement speed of intravascular instruments.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and precision in intravascular procedures.
  • Enhanced safety by ensuring proper movement speed of intravascular instruments.
  • Real-time feedback and suggestions for adjusting the movement speed of intravascular instruments.


Original Abstract Submitted

in an embodiment, a medical system is disclosed. one embodiment of the medical system comprises a medical processing unit in communication with an intravascular instrument configured to be moved longitudinally within a body lumen and in further communication with a radiographic imaging source configured to obtain radiographic images of the intravascular instrument while the intravascular instrument is moved longitudinally within the body lumen. the medical processing unit is configured to receive radiographic images obtained by the radiographic imaging source, track the intravascular instrument within the radiographic images while the intravascular instrument is moved longitudinally within the body lumen, calculate a movement speed based on the tracking, compare the calculated movement speed to a predefined target movement speed, generate a speed-adjustment suggestion based on the comparison, and output the speed-adjustment suggestion to a display for review by a user.
