Patent number: 11684337Abstract: A tracking, and point-of-view-based imaging, device is configured for deriving a position of, and a direction from, a location at a distal tip of an elongated instrument, for performing coordinate system transformation in accordance with the position and direction, and for forming, from the location and based on a result of the transformation, a local view that moves with the tip. The device can keep, with the movement, a field of view of the local view fixed but the local view otherwise in synchrony with the position and the direction. From real-time ultrasound imaging, the local view and a more overall view that includes the tip but which does not move with said tip can be displayed. The distal tip can be that of a catheter and can be outfitted with a micromanipulator for surgery aided interactively by the combination of dynamic local and overall imaging.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventor: Peter Waksman
