SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF GENERATING RECONSTRUCTED IMAGES FOR INTERVENTIONAL MEDICAL PROCEDURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024037 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF GENERATING RECONSTRUCTED IMAGES FOR INTERVENTIONAL MEDICAL PROCEDURES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and methods for providing image guidance during interventional medical procedures. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The methods involve receiving a user selection of an interventional medical procedure at an adaptive user interface.
- Volumetric image data of a region of interest is acquired using 3D ultrasound.
- At least one anatomical landmark within the volumetric image data specific to the selected procedure is identified.
- One or more ultrasound images are reconstructed along predefined image planes necessary for performing the selected procedure.
- The reconstructed images are displayed on the user interface in real-time to provide guidance to a clinician performing the procedure.
- The clinician may deploy one or more interventional instruments within the region of interest.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Image-guided interventional medical procedures, such as biopsies, catheter placements, or tumor ablations.
- Minimally invasive surgeries where real-time guidance is crucial.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Lack of real-time guidance during interventional procedures, which can lead to errors or complications.
- Difficulty in visualizing anatomical landmarks during procedures.
Benefits of this technology:
- Real-time guidance improves the accuracy and safety of interventional procedures.
- Clinicians can visualize anatomical landmarks and navigate instruments more effectively.
- Minimally invasive procedures can be performed with greater precision.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for providing image guidance during interventional medical procedures are disclosed. methods involve receiving a user selection of an interventional medical procedure at an adaptive user interface, acquiring volumetric image data of a region of interest using 3d ultrasound, and identifying at least one anatomical landmark within the volumetric image data specific to the selected procedure. methods further involve reconstructing one or more ultrasound images along predefined image planes necessary for performing the selected procedure. the reconstructed images are displayed on the user interface for providing real-time guidance to a clinician performing the procedure, which may involve deploying one or more interventional instruments within the region of interest.
