  • Patent number: 10806516
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for virtual assessment of an implantation path for a medical device are presented. A system can analyze multi-dimensional medical imaging data regarding a patient body and a lesion area, generate a set of paths to reach the lesion area for deployment of a medical device, rank the set of paths to reach the lesion area, and recommend a subset of the paths for deployment of the medical device. The system can also generate a display of the recommendations and a multi-dimensional visualization of the recommended subset of paths for the deployment of the medical device.

  • Publication number: 20150067599
    Abstract: A computer implemented technique for real-time exploration of a vessel network is disclosed. According to the technique, medical image data of a region of interest (ROI) is accessed and a medical image of the ROI is displayed based on the medical image data. Real-time exploration of vessels of a vessel network associated with the medical image are enabled based on received operator input, so as to provide for generating and displaying a vessel curve preview of a vessel on the medical image based on an operator initiated positioning of a cursor in the medical image, generating and displaying a highlighted vessel curve of a vessel on the medical image based on an operator initiated input, and generating and displaying one or more parameters associated with a vessel based on an operator initiated input. The real-time exploration may be performed with/without any prior vessel validation in the vessel network.
