Patent number: 11622745Abstract: A controller for displaying a puncture site of an intra-atrial septum for heart repairs includes a memory and a processor (710). The processor (710) executes instructions (784) to perform a process based on image data of a heart that includes a mitral valve and an intra-atrial septum. The process includes defining a mitral valve annulus plane along a mitral valve annulus of the mitral valve and a normal vector perpendicular to the mitral valve annulus plane. The process also includes defining an offset plane that intersects with the intra-atrial septum and that is parallel to the mitral valve annulus plane. A safe zone for the puncture site is identified and displayed on the intra-atrial septum. The safe zone is between a lower boundary plane (456) and an upper boundary plane (455) that are each parallel to the offset plane by specified distances.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2019Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignees: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V., THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADOInventors: Alexander Haak, Robert Quaife, John Dougher Carroll, Marco Verstege, Niels Nijhof, Onno Wink

Patent number: 11395702Abstract: The invention relates to a navigation system for navigating an interventional device (11) like a catheter and an interventional system comprising the navigation system. A position and shape determining unit (13) determines and stores a first position and shape of the interventional device within a living being (9) during a first interventional procedure like a first chemoembolization session and determines a second position and shape of an interventional device within the living being during a subsequent second interventional procedure like a second chemoembolization session. During the second interventional procedure the interventional device is navigated based on the stored first position and shape and based on the second position and shape. This allows considering during the second interventional procedure the path of the interventional device used during the first interventional procedure.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Michael Grass, Neriman Nicoletta Kahya, Sven Prevrhal, Marco Verstege, Eberhard Sebastian Hansis

Patent number: 11116940Abstract: The invention addresses the problem of correctly positioning a catheter and reducing radiation doses. It relates to an X-ray imaging system (1) for a robotic catheter, comprising said catheter (3), and a processing unit (5) for receiving X-ray images of a patient environment (15). By being adapted to receive one or more auxiliary information items and using said information for determining the catheter position, the processing unit does not entirely have to rely on a large number of scanned image data, thus helping to reduce radiation while correctly delivering the catheter position as a function of as few as a single image, preferably 2D, and said one auxiliary information items. Further, said processing unit allows for at least one of rendering an image and provide said image to a visualization device (21), and providing feedback, e.g. steering commands, to said robotic catheter.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2013Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Daniel Simon Anna Ruijters, Sander Hans Denissen, Michael Grass, Erik Martinus Hubertus Petrus Van Dijk, Dirk Dijkkamp, Maikel Hendriks, Erik Rene Kieft, Marco Verstege

Patent number: 10806520Abstract: An imaging apparatus images a first object (10), like a tip of a catheter, disposed within a second object, such as a vascular structure of a person. A three-dimensional representation of the second object including a representation of a surface (23) of the second object and the position of the first object relative to the position of the second object are provided. A projection (22) of the first object onto the representation of the surface of the second object is determined and shown to a user like a physician on a display (18). The three-dimensional spatial relationship between the first object and the second object is thereby shown in a way that is very native for the user, i.e. a visualization can be provided, which allows the user to easily and accurately grasp the three-dimensional spatial relationship between the first object and the second object.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Javier Olivan Bescos, Thijs Elenbaas, Marco Verstege

Patent number: 10238463Abstract: The invention relates to a processing system (200) that is arranged to cooperate with an optical-shape-sensing-enabled elongated interventional device (1020, 1120, 1220, 1320, 1420), such as a catheter comprising an optical fiber. A reconstructed shape data providing unit (130) provides reconstructed shape data for the interventional device (1020, 1120, 1220, 1320, 1420). A virtual marking provider unit (140) provides at least one virtual marking (1020A, 1020B, 1101, 1102, 1103, 1201, 1203, 1204, 1301, 1302, 1401) based on the reconstructed shape data, for example as overlay to a x-ray image. The present invention thus turns any OSS-enabled device into a calibrated device, suitable for all kinds of live 3D measurements.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2015Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Marco Verstege, Jeroen Gerard Scheepens, Neriman Nicoletta Kahya

Patent number: 9810528Abstract: An optical shape sensing system and method with at least two optical fibers (OSF1, OSF2) both comprising optical shape sensing elements. A processor (P) is arranged to register a coordinate system indicative of a position of one of the optical fibers (OSF1) in space, and to register a position (R2) of the other optical fiber (OSF2) in relation to this coordinate system. An optical console system (C, C1, C2) serves to interrogate the optical shape sensing elements in both optical fibers (OSF1, OSF2), and to accordingly determine a measure of a three-dimensional shape (I) of both optical fibers (OSF1, OSF2), based on the registered position (R2) of the second optical fiber (OSF2) in relation to the coordinate system. This provide the possibility of providing 3D optical shape sensing of the length of both optical fibers (OSF1, OSF2), thus allowing 3D shape reconstruction of e.g. long medical devices with lengths of several meters. More than two shape sensing optical fibers, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2014Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Marco Verstege, Sander Hans Denissen, Bharat Ramachandran
