  • Patent number: 12005271
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of treatment targeting includes receiving magnetic resonance (MR) images of a subject including a target region, generating at least one contour of at least one surrogate element apart from the target region in the MR images, and determining a location of the target region in each of the MR images based on a location of the at least one contour in the MR images.

  • Publication number: 20220369930
    Abstract: A method for selecting one or more targets for non-invasively treating a cardiac arrhythmia in a patient includes receiving a mapping associated with the patient's heart and generating a segmented model of the mapping associated with the patient's heart. The segmented model divides the mapping into a plurality of segments. The method includes identifying one or more abnormality in the segmented model of the mapping associated with the patient's heart, determining which segment or segments of the plurality of segments include the identified one or more abnormality, and selecting a target for non-invasive treatment of the cardiac arrhythmia based on the determined segment or segments of the plurality of segments that include the identified one or more abnormality.

  • Publication number: 20210137384
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for determining one or more cardiac arrhythmia targets for ablation. The method may include receiving one or more mappings, identifying an abnormality in the one or more mappings, combining the one or more mappings, and defining the one or more cardiac arrhythmia targets based on an overlap of the identified abnormality in the combined one or more mappings.

  • Patent number: 9084888
    Abstract: A method of determining a model of a marker includes obtaining projection images, each of the projection images having an image of a marker that indicates a shape of the marker, determining binary images of the marker for respective ones of the projection images, and constructing a three-dimensional model of the marker using the binary images, the three-dimensional model comprising a set of voxels in a three-dimensional space that collectively indicates a three-dimensional shape of the marker, wherein the act of constructing the three-dimensional model is performed using a processing unit.
