==SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF ASSESSING BREATH HOLD DURING INTRAPROCEDURAL IMAGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18288953 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF ASSESSING BREATH HOLD DURING INTRAPROCEDURAL IMAGING

==Simplified Explanation==
The patent application describes a system and method for improving the quality of images for local registration by monitoring the position of a sensor to determine if a breath hold plateau has been achieved and tracking the sensor position post-imaging to ensure it returns to its original position.

* The system monitors the sensor position during imaging procedures.
* It determines if a breath hold plateau has been reached.
* It tracks the sensor position post-imaging to ensure accuracy.

==Key Features and Innovation==
* Monitoring sensor position for improved image quality.
* Determining breath hold plateau for optimal imaging.
* Tracking sensor position post-imaging for accuracy.

==Potential Applications==
This technology can be applied in medical imaging, specifically in procedures where precise image registration is crucial, such as MRI or CT scans.

==Problems Solved==
This technology addresses the challenge of maintaining image quality and accuracy during local registration procedures, ensuring optimal results for medical imaging.

==Benefits==
* Improved image quality.
* Enhanced accuracy in image registration.
* Streamlined imaging procedures.

==Commercial Applications==
Title: Enhanced Image Quality System for Medical Imaging
This technology can be utilized in hospitals, imaging centers, and research facilities to improve the quality and accuracy of medical imaging procedures, potentially leading to better diagnosis and treatment outcomes.

==Questions about the Technology==
===How does the system determine if a breath hold plateau has been achieved?===
The system monitors the sensor position to detect a consistent and stable position indicative of a breath hold plateau.

===What are the potential implications of inaccurate sensor position post-imaging?===
Inaccurate sensor position post-imaging can lead to misalignment of images, affecting the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment planning.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A system and method for improving a quality of images for local registration where a position of a sensor is monitored to determine whether a breath hold plateau has been achieved, and following imaging is monitored to determine whether the sensor position has returned to a pre-breath hold position.
