  • Publication number: 20250387174
    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for determining anatomical distance and/or position measurements during an endoscopic procedure. Markings are placed either physically or superimposed on a distal end of an elongate tool, such that the markings are viewable in an imaging field of view of the endoscope. Anatomic distances may be determined by measurements performed with the tool. The size and/or position of anatomical structures or unknown objects may also be determined using the marked tool.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 29, 2025
    Publication date: December 25, 2025
    Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.
    Inventors: Eric N. Lent, Niraj Prasad Rauniyar, Steven T. Carlson, Robert J. Riker, Longquan Chen, Jeffrey A. Meganck, Andrea M. Cahill, Aaron Silva

  • Publication number: 20250078273
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing electronic images from a medical device comprise receiving an image frame from the medical device, and determining a first color channel and a second color channel in the image frame. A location of an electromagnetic beam halo may be identified by comparing the first color channel and second color channel. Edges of an electromagnetic beam may be determined based on the electromagnetic beam halo, and size metrics of the electromagnetic beam may be determined based on the edges of the electromagnetic beam. A visual indicator on the image frame may be displayed based on the size metrics of the electromagnetic beam.
