Method and System for Improved Vessel Coverage from Angiography - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240046465 titled 'Method and System for Improved Vessel Coverage from Angiography

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for determining angiography angles based on patient information and target vessel information. Angiograms obtained using these angles are then analyzed to determine the vessel coverage of the target vessel. Based on the vessel coverage, additional angiography angles can be determined.

  • The method involves obtaining patient information and target vessel information.
  • Patient information refers to individual medical information of a patient.
  • Target vessel information defines at least one target vessel to be imaged.
  • Angiography angles are determined based on the patient information and target vessel information.
  • Angiograms obtained using these angles are analyzed.
  • The vessel coverage of the target vessel is determined based on the analysis.
  • Additional angiography angles are determined based on the vessel coverage.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical imaging: This method can be used in angiography procedures to obtain accurate images of target vessels.
  • Interventional cardiology: The method can assist in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases by providing detailed information about the target vessels.
  • Surgical planning: The determined angiography angles can aid in planning surgical procedures involving the target vessels.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inaccurate imaging: By determining the appropriate angiography angles based on patient and target vessel information, this method can help improve the accuracy of angiograms and reduce the risk of misdiagnosis.
  • Insufficient vessel coverage: Analyzing the angiograms allows for the determination of vessel coverage, ensuring that the target vessel is adequately imaged. This helps avoid missing any potential abnormalities or blockages.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved diagnosis: Accurate angiograms obtained using the determined angiography angles can aid in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and guide appropriate treatment.
  • Enhanced surgical planning: The method provides valuable information for surgical planning, allowing for more precise and effective procedures.
  • Reduced risk: By ensuring sufficient vessel coverage, this technology helps minimize the risk of missing important details during angiography procedures.


Original Abstract Submitted

angiography angles are determined. patient information and target vessel information are obtained, wherein the patient information defines individual medical information of a patient and wherein the target vessel information defines at least one target vessel to be imaged. at least one angiography angle is determined based on the patient information and the target vessel information. angiograms obtained using the at least one angiography angle are analyzed to determine a vessel coverage of the target vessel and based on the vessel coverage determines additional angiography angles.
