IMAGE PROCESSING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES FOR ANNULOPLASTY RING DETERMINATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18657646 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES FOR ANNULOPLASTY RING DETERMINATIONS
The abstract describes techniques for analyzing image data to determine an annuloplasty ring for an annuloplasty procedure. Image data depicting a heart valve is analyzed to identify image features representing anatomical features of the heart valve. Heart data is generated based on these features, indicating measurements and characteristics of the heart valve. An annuloplasty ring is then determined based on the heart valve data and characteristics of annuloplasty rings. User interface data is generated to indicate the chosen annuloplasty ring.

Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques relate to analyzing image data to determine an annuloplasty ring to implant for an annuloplasty procedure. For example, image data can be received that depicts a heart valve. The image data can be analyzed to identify one or more image features that represent one or more anatomical features of the heart valve. Based on the one or more image features, heart data can be generated that indicates a measurement and/or another characteristic of the heart valve. An annuloplasty ring can be determined based on the heart valve data and/or annuloplasty ring data indicating characteristics of one or more annuloplasty rings. User interface data can then be generated that indicates the annuloplasty ring.
