  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ABLATION VISUALIZATION
    Publication number: 20230355322
    Abstract: The visualization method includes displaying three-dimensional image data of at least one anatomical feature of a patient, receiving user input of the target for placing an ablation needle in the at least one anatomical feature of the patient, determining the position and orientation of the ablation needle based on the user input, displaying an image of a virtual ablation needle in the three-dimensional image data of the at least one anatomical feature of the patient according to the determined position and orientation, receiving user input of parameters of operating the ablation needle, and displaying a three-dimensional representation of the result of operating the ablation needle according to the input parameters.
    Type: Application

  • Method and system for planning a surgical instrument path
    Patent number: 10716627
    Abstract: A method of planning path for a surgical instrument is provided for use during a surgical procedure. The method includes identifying a treatment target in images of a patient to be treated during a surgical procedure, determining dimensions of the patient, a surgical instrument, and an external obstruction, and determining a path to guide the surgical instrument to the treatment target during the surgical procedure. The surgical instrument is configured to be used during the surgical procedure. The external obstruction is an object external to the patient's body that interferes with one or more potential paths of the surgical instrument. The path is determined such that the surgical instrument avoids the external obstruction based on the determined dimensions of the surgical instrument and the determined dimensions of the external obstruction.
