PREVIEW OF INTRALUMINAL ULTRASOUND IMAGE ALONG LONGITUDINAL VIEW OF BODY LUMEN - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18290312 titled 'PREVIEW OF INTRALUMINAL ULTRASOUND IMAGE ALONG LONGITUDINAL VIEW OF BODY LUMEN
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a co-registration system that displays a preview intravascular image alongside a longitudinal view of a blood vessel, using x-ray images and intravascular data obtained from a catheter/guidewire moving through the blood vessel.
- The processor circuit displays a preview intravascular image along a longitudinal view of a blood vessel.
- X-ray images of the blood vessel are received from an x-ray imaging device while the catheter/guidewire moves through the vessel.
- Intravascular data from the catheter representing the blood vessel is received and used to generate the longitudinal view.
- The intravascular data is co-registered to the x-ray image, and a preview intravascular image is displayed in conjunction with the longitudinal view in response to user input.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Displaying a preview intravascular image alongside a longitudinal view of a blood vessel.
- Co-registering intravascular data to x-ray images for enhanced visualization.
- Generating the longitudinal view based on intravascular data obtained from a moving catheter/guidewire.
Potential Applications:
The technology could be used in medical settings for improved visualization during intravascular procedures, such as angioplasty or stent placement.
Problems Solved:
The system addresses the challenge of accurately visualizing the inside of blood vessels during procedures, enhancing precision and efficiency.
Benefits:
- Enhanced visualization for medical professionals.
- Improved accuracy in navigating blood vessels during procedures.
- Streamlined workflow and increased efficiency in intravascular interventions.
Commercial Applications:
Title: "Advanced Co-Registration System for Intravascular Imaging in Medical Procedures" This technology has potential commercial applications in the medical device industry, specifically for companies developing intravascular imaging systems for interventional cardiology and radiology procedures. The system could improve the accuracy and efficiency of these procedures, leading to better patient outcomes and potentially reducing healthcare costs.
Questions about Intravascular Co-Registration: 1. How does the co-registration system improve the accuracy of intravascular procedures? 2. What are the key advantages of displaying a preview intravascular image alongside a longitudinal view of a blood vessel?
Original Abstract Submitted
A co-registration system includes a processor circuit that displays a preview intravascular image along a longitudinal view of a blood vessel. The processor circuit receives, from an x-ray imaging device, x-ray images of the blood vessel while an intravascular catheter/guidewire moves through the blood vessel. The processor circuit receives, from the catheter, intravascular data representative of the blood vessel while the catheter moves through the blood vessel. The longitudinal view of the blood vessel is generated based on the intravascular data. The processor circuit co-registers the intravascular data to an x-ray image received from the x-ray imaging device. The processor circuit generates and displays a preview intravascular image in conjunction with the longitudinal view and overlaid over another intravascular image or an x-ray image in response to a user input.
