AUTOMATED IMAGE-GUIDED TISSUE RESECTION AND TREATMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032958 titled 'AUTOMATED IMAGE-GUIDED TISSUE RESECTION AND TREATMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that allows physicians to view and develop a treatment plan for tissue resection. The system includes a user interface that displays images of the tissue to be treated, and the planned treatment is shown on these images. The treatment probe may have an anchor, and the images may have a reference image marker corresponding to the anchor. The physician can adjust the treatment profile based on the scaled images to provide a three-dimensional treatment profile.

• The system includes a user interface for physicians to view and develop a treatment plan for tissue resection.
• Images of the tissue to be treated are displayed on the user interface.
• The planned treatment is shown on the images, allowing the physician to visualize the treatment.
• The treatment probe may have an anchor, and the images may have a reference image marker corresponding to the anchor.
• The physician can adjust the treatment profile based on the scaled images, providing a three-dimensional treatment profile.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Surgical procedures requiring tissue resection.
• Treatment planning for organ-specific procedures, such as prostate resection.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Provides physicians with a visual representation of the tissue to be treated.
• Allows physicians to develop a treatment plan based on the images.
• Enables adjustment of the treatment profile in three dimensions.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved accuracy in tissue resection procedures.
• Enhanced visualization of the treatment plan.
• More precise adjustment of the treatment profile.

Original Abstract Submitted

a system to treat a patient comprises a user interface that allows a physician to view an image of tissue to be treated in order to develop a treatment plan to resect tissue with a predefined removal profile. the image may comprise a plurality of images, and the planned treatment is shown on the images. the treatment probe may comprise an anchor, and the image shown on the screen may have a reference image marker shown on the screen corresponding to the anchor. the planned tissue removal profile can be displayed and scaled to the image of the target tissue of an organ such as the prostate, and the physician can adjust the treatment profile based on the scaled images to provide a treatment profile in three dimensions. the images shown on the display may comprise segmented images of the patient with treatment plan overlaid on the images.
