METHOD, DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR INTRACAVITY PROBE PROCEDURE PLANNING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240008844 titled 'METHOD, DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR INTRACAVITY PROBE PROCEDURE PLANNING

Simplified Explanation

Methods and systems are provided for planning a medical intervention involving an intracavity probe and an imaging dataset of a patient.

  • A view-type is selected from a defined set of view-types.
  • A virtual field of view of the intracavity probe corresponding to the selected view-type is determined.
  • A virtual intracavity image is rendered for display, based upon the imaging dataset and the virtual field of view.
  • The virtual field of view can be based upon segmentation of an intracavity probe path, at least one anatomical structure, or user input.
  • The virtual field of view can also be based upon probe parameters computed in accordance with a pre-defined set of rules for the selected view-type.
  • The probe parameters can be computed by evaluation of a cost function expressed by the pre-defined set of rules for the selected view-type.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Planning and guiding medical interventions involving intracavity probes, such as minimally invasive surgeries or endoscopic procedures.
  • Assisting in the visualization and navigation of the intracavity probe within the patient's body.
  • Enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of medical interventions by providing virtual images that aid in the understanding of the patient's anatomy and the positioning of the probe.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Difficulty in visualizing and navigating intracavity probes during medical interventions.
  • Lack of real-time feedback on the position and orientation of the probe within the patient's body.
  • Limited ability to accurately plan and execute medical interventions involving intracavity probes.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and precision in guiding and positioning intracavity probes during medical interventions.
  • Enhanced visualization of the patient's anatomy and the probe's location, leading to better decision-making and outcomes.
  • Increased efficiency and safety in performing medical interventions, reducing the risk of complications and improving patient care.


Original Abstract Submitted

methods and systems are provided for planning a medical intervention involving an intracavity probe and an imaging dataset of a patient. a view-type is selected from a defined set of view-types. a virtual field of view of the intracavity probe corresponding to the selected view-type is determined. a virtual intracavity image is rendered for display. the virtual intracavity image is based upon the imaging dataset and the virtual field of view. the virtual field of view can be based upon segmentation of an intracavity probe path, at least one anatomical structure, or possibly user input. in embodiments, the virtual field of view can be based upon probe parameters computed in accordance with a pre-defined set of rules for the selected view-type. the probe parameters can be computed by evaluation of a cost function expressed by the pre-defined set of rules for the selected view-type. other aspects are described and claimed.
