Publication number: 20190321107Abstract: A system and method for providing image guidance for placement of one or more medical devices at a target location. The system can determine one or more intersections between a medical device and an image region based at least in part on first emplacement data and second emplacement data. Using the determined intersections, the system can cause one or more displays to display perspective views of image guidance cues, including an intersection ghost in a virtual 3D space.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2019Publication date: October 24, 2019Inventors: Andrei State, Brian Heaney, Luv Kohli, Kurtis Keller, Caroline Green

Patent number: 10398513Abstract: Presented herein are methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media for image management in image-guided medical procedures. Some embodiments herein allow a physician to use multiple instruments for a surgery and simultaneously provide image-guidance data for those instruments. Various embodiments disclosed herein provide information to physicians about procedures they are performing, the devices (such as ablation needles, ultrasound transducers or probes, scalpels, cauterizers, etc.) they are using during the procedure, the relative emplacements or poses of these devices, prediction information for those devices, and other information. Some embodiments provide useful information about 3D data sets and allow the operator to control the presentation of regions of interest. Additionally, some embodiments provide for quick calibration of surgical instruments or attachments for surgical instruments.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: InnerOptic Technology, Inc.Inventors: Sharif Razzaque, Andrei State, Caroline Green, Brian Heaney

Publication number: 20190223958Abstract: A system and method for improved medical device navigation is disclosed. An example system can include a processor configured to determine an emplacement of a 2D medical image in a 3D virtual space, determine an emplacement of a virtual medical device in the 3D space, determine an intersection based on the emplacement of the 2D medical image and the emplacement of the virtual medical device, and/or determine a dynamic point-of-projection location for the virtual medical device based at least in part on the determined intersection. The processor can cause a display to display a rendering of the 2D medical image and a projection of the virtual medical device onto the 2D medical image from a perspective of the dynamic point-of-projection location. The display can include a display that is communicatively coupled to an imaging medical device. The viewing area of the can be parallel to a 2D region associated with the 2D medical image.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2019Publication date: July 25, 2019Inventors: Luv Kohli, Brian Heaney, Kurtis Keller, Andrei State

Patent number: 10314559Abstract: A system and method for providing image guidance for placement of one or more medical devices at a target location. The system can be used to display portions of a display object, such as a rendered medical image, at different transparency levels. The system can also be used to resolve co-located display objects, such as a co-located image guidance cue and rendered medical image. The system can further be used to adjust a point-of-view location for one or more medical display objects within a virtual 3D space.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: InnerOptic Technology, Inc.Inventors: Sharif Razzaque, Andrei State, Brian Heaney
