Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In the present invention, a system and method for selection of an optimal catheter for use in a medical procedure relative to the anatomy of a patient includes the steps of providing a system including a scanning device capable of obtaining image data on a ROI within the anatomy of a patient and reconstructing a 3D image of the ROI from the image data, a display capable of illustrating the 3D image and a 3D catheter model, and a CPU operably connected to the scanning device and the display and operable to analyze the 3D image in comparison with the 3D catheter model, obtaining image data of the ROI of the patient, reconstructing a 3D image of the ROI from the image data and comparing the 3D catheter model with the 3D image of the ROI to determine the catheter with the optimal configuration for use in the procedure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A catheter selection system for determining a catheter having an optimized configuration for use in a medical procedure, the selection system comprising: a scanning device capable of obtaining image data on a region of interest (ROI) within the anatomy of a patient and reconstructing a three-dimensional (3D) image of the ROI from the image data; a display capable of illustrating the 3D ROI image and a 3D catheter model; a central processing unit (CPU) operably connected to the scanning device and the display, the CPU operable to analyze the 3D ROI image in comparison with the 3D catheter model; and a database of available catheter models currently in a hospital inventory operably connected to the CPU. 2. The catheter selection system of claim 1 wherein the scanning device is selected from the group consisting of: a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device, an x-ray computed tomography (CT) device and a 3D angio-rotation scanning device. 3. The catheter selection system of claim 1 further comprising an operator console operably connected to the CPU.
