Publication number: 20210346721Abstract: A system that generates a three-dimensional model of a tissue surface, for example the inner surface of the heart from two-dimensional image data slices. On this surface, one or more pattern lines are drawn, e.g., by a physician using a user interface, to designate desired lesion(s) on the surface. From the pattern lines, a three-dimensional volume for a lesion can be determined using known constraints. Advantageously, the series of boundaries generated by the three-dimensional volume may be projected back onto the individual CT scans, which then may be transferred to a standard radiosurgical planning tool. A dose cloud may also be projected on the model to aid in evaluating a plan.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2021Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: Thilaka Sumanaweera, Ed Gardner, Oliver Blanck, Tao Cai, Darrin Uecker, Patrick Maguire

Patent number: 9320916Abstract: Radiosurgical treatments of tissues of the heart mitigate arrhythmias and treat other tumerous and non-tumerous disease using an implanted fiducial positioned in or near the heart using cardiac catheterization techniques. The fiducials may be implanted after diagnostic and planning images of the target tissues have been acquired. Fiducial implantation may take place the day of a scheduled radiosurgical treatment. Techniques to accommodate post-planning fiducial implantation may include registration of the implanted fiducial location with the treatment plan, and active fiducials may limit collateral imaging radiation exposure while enhancing tracking accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: CYBERHEART, INC.Inventors: Thilaka Sumanaweera, Ed Gardner, Oliver Blanck, Tao Cai, Darrin Uecker, Patrick Maguire
