Abstract: A sleeve for a medical lead includes a tubular body having a first open end and a second open end, a tubular wall extending between the first and second ends and defining a hollow center, and a longitudinal axis extending through the hollow center. A first pocket is disposed in the tubular wall and having a curved transverse cross section and a first access opening at the first open end of the tubular body. A medical lead system includes a medical lead and the sleeve configured to slide over the medical lead and be adjacent to the electrode region.

Abstract: A system and method for a procedure that can be performed on an appropriate subject. Procedures can include assembling any appropriate work piece or installing members into a work piece, such as an airframe, autoframe, etc. Regardless of the subject, generally the procedure can have a selected result that is efficacious. The efficacious result may be the desired placement of a device. The system and method can be used in confirming an efficacious result.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected using an imaging system with a selected filtering characteristic. The image data can be reconstructed using reconstruction techniques.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for operating an imaging system. The imaging system may move or be moved to acquire image data of a subject at different positions relative to the subject. The image data may, thereafter, be combined to form a single image.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods used to register medical image data with anatomical positions are disclosed. The image data is captured by an imaging system over a period of time. The positions are determined by one or more modalities over the period of time. The positions are collected into position data, and determinations are made as to which position data is best for registering the image data with patient anatomy and for reconstructing 3D images of the patient anatomy.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected with an imaging system in a selected manner and/or motion. More than one projection may be combined to generate and create a selected view of the subject.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for imaging a system. The system may be operated to acquire image data of a subject in one or more manners. The image data acquired may be used to various purposes, such as generating an image for display, navigating a procedure, or other appropriate procedures.

Abstract: A system includes an imaging system and a tracking system. The system generates a navigation space based on one or more tracking signals emitted by a transmission device. The system generates a virtual space including at least a portion of a calibration phantom based on one or more images generated by the imaging system. The system identifies a set of coordinates in the virtual space in response to an event in which at least a portion of the tracked device is detected in the one or more images. The system calibrates a first coordinate system associated with the virtual space with respect to a second coordinate system associated with the navigation space in response to the event. Calibrating the first coordinate system with respect to the second coordinate system is based on the set of coordinates and temporal information associated with the event.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining one or more phases of anatomical movement are provided. A catheter positioned in an anatomical element may be tracked using a tracker configured to track a pose of the catheter. Sensor data corresponding to a plurality of pose information of the catheter may be received from the tracker. One or more phases of motion of the anatomical element may be determined based on the plurality of pose information. An image may be received at a target phase of the one or more phases.

Abstract: A system according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure includes: an imaging source; an imaging detector; a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing data thereon that, when executed by the processor, enable the processor to: initiate a multi-dimensional scan of patient anatomy that includes the imaging source emitting a radiation beam that is received by the imaging detector; receive radiation beam information associated with the radiation beam received by the imaging detector; compare the radiation beam information to a beam threshold value; and instruct, based on the comparing, the imaging source to adjust at least one beam parameter of the radiation beam such that the radiation beam information is compliant with the beam threshold value.
