DYNAMIC VESSEL ROADMAPPING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18310125 titled 'DYNAMIC VESSEL ROADMAPPING

Simplified Explanation

The present application describes a computer-based method for creating dynamic vessel roadmaps.

  • The method involves generating a library of vessel roadmaps, each containing an image and alignment data.
  • Real-time fluoroscopy images and corresponding information are obtained.
  • The vessel roadmap image is overlaid onto the real-time fluoroscopy image using alignment data and fluoroscopy information.
  • The vessel roadmap image and the real-time fluoroscopy image are aligned using additional alignment data and fluoroscopy information.
  • The second alignment data is derived from the corresponding vessel roadmap image.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present application relates to a computer-implemented dynamic vessel roadmapping method. The method comprises generating a vessel roadmap library, the vessel roadmap library including a plurality of vessel roadmaps, wherein each vessel roadmap comprises vessel roadmap image and first and second alignment data, obtaining a real-time fluoroscopy image and corresponding real-time first and second fluoroscopy information, overlaying a vessel roadmap image of the vessel roadmap library with the real-time fluoroscopy image based on the first alignment data, the second alignment data, and the real time first and second fluoroscopy information and aligning the vessel roadmap image and the real-time fluoroscopy image based on the second alignment data and the real time second fluoroscopy information, wherein the second alignment data is derived from the corresponding vessel roadmap image.
