Patent number: 11998385Abstract: The invention provides a method for generating a non-invasive measure of blood vessel rigidity for a subject. The method includes obtaining 2D ultrasound data and 3D ultrasound data of the blood vessel from a given measurement location. The 2D ultrasound data provides information relating to a movement of the blood vessel and the 3D ultrasound data provides information relating to a shape of the blood vessel. A motion of the blood vessel is then determined based on the movement of the blood vessel. The method then includes providing the determined motion of the blood vessel, the shape of the blood vessel and an obtained non-invasive pressure measurement to a biomechanical model. A measure of rigidity is then determined based on the biomechanical model.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2020Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Laurence Rouet, Hernán Guillermo Morales Varela, Constance Marie Anne Fourcade

Patent number: 11426240Abstract: A stress prediction device for predicting mechanical stress exerted to a deformable object due contact between the object and an external device that is to be inserted into the object at an intended insertion position comprises a segmentation unit configured to access generic model data representing a generic reference object that comprises predefined secondary landmark features at predefined landmark positions, which are not identifiable using a predefined imaging technique, and pre-insertion object image data acquired using the imaging technique. It provides segmented object model data which comprises associated mapped landmark position data indicative of mapped landmark positions of the secondary landmark features. A stress determination unit determines and provides predictive stress information indicative of mechanical stress exerted to at least one of the secondary landmark features at the associated mapped landmark position due to mechanical contact between the object and the external device.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2017Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Tobias Wissel, Hernán Guillermo Morales Varela, Michael Grass

Patent number: 10019800Abstract: The success of the positioning of devices for deployment inside an aneurysm, for example, is reliant on processes, which take place within an intervention procedure. For example, the position, orientation, or trajectory of the intervention device can affect the final position of a device for deployment deployed on the intervention device. Therefore, it is useful to predict the deployment position of a device for deployment based on a current localization of only the intervention device within an object of interest.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2014Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Raoul Florent, Odile Bonnefous, Hernan Guillermo Morales Varela
