Abstract

A medical system for use in a lithotripsy procedure may include a processor configured to receive input from a first imaging device, wherein the first imaging device may be configured to send image data representative of an image captured in a lumen of a kidney, bladder, or ureter to the processor. The processor may be configured to display the image on a display device coupled to the processor, and analyze the image to sense the presence of an object within the image. If an object was sensed within the image, the processor may analyze the image to estimate a size of the object, and display the estimate on the display device.

Claims17

Dependent claims

A medical system for use in a medical procedure, comprising:

a processor configured to receive input from a first imaging device, wherein the first imaging device is configured to send image data representative of an image captured within a body lumen to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
display the image on a display device coupled to the processor;
analyze the image to sense the presence of an object within the image;
if an object was sensed within the image, analyze the image to estimate a size of the object;
display the estimated size on the display device as a numerical value overlaid onto the image;
display, on the display device, a first user interface before initiation of the medical procedure, wherein the first user interface displays information regarding the patient including at least one of a patient vitals field, a patient stats field, and a diagnosis or anatomy field;
display, on the display device, a second user interface during a first portion of the medical procedure, wherein the second user interface includes the image;
display, on the display device, a third user interface during a second portion of the medical procedure, the second portion of the medical procedure including inserting a guidewire into the lumen, and wherein the third user interface includes both an image and an x-ray image of the guidewire displayed simultaneously on the display device;
display, on the display device, a fourth user interface during a third portion of the medical procedure, the third portion of the medical procedure including estimating a size of an orifice within an image or an x-ray image, and wherein the fourth user interface includes the image or the x-ray image and the estimated size of the orifice overlaid as a numerical value on either the image or the x-ray image;
display, on the display device, a fifth user interface during a fourth portion of the medical procedure, wherein the fourth portion of the medical procedure includes applying laser energy, wherein the fifth user interface includes an image of an energy delivery element delivering laser energy to the object within the lumen;
display, on the display device, a sixth user interface during a fifth portion of the medical procedure, wherein the fifth portion of the medical procedure includes delivering a stent into a lumen of the patient, wherein the sixth user interface includes an image of the stent while disposed within the patient;
and
display, on the display device, a seventh user interface after the medical procedure has concluded, wherein the seventh user interface includes data relating to the one or more of the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth portions of the medical procedure.

10 more elements

A method for displaying images relating to a medical procedure, the method including:

analyzing an image received from an imaging device disposed within a lumen of a patient to sense the presence of an orifice within the image;
if the orifice is sensed within the image, further analyzing the image to estimate a size of the orifice;
displaying the estimated size on a display device, wherein the estimated size is displayed as an at least partially numerical value on a scaled grid indicative of the size of the orifice;
sending x-ray data representative of an x-ray image to a processor,
displaying, on the display device, a first user interface before initiation of the medical procedure, wherein the first user interface displays information regarding the patient including at least one of a patient vitals field, a patient stats field, and a diagnosis or anatomy field;
displaying, on the display device, a second user interface during a first portion of the medical procedure, wherein the second user interface includes one or more of the image and the x-ray image;
displaying, on the display device, a third user interface during a second portion of the medical procedure, the second portion of the medical procedure including inserting a guidewire into the lumen, and wherein the third user interface includes both an image and an x-ray image of the guidewire displayed simultaneously on the display device;
displaying, on the display device, a fourth user interface during a third portion of the medical procedure, the third portion of the medical procedure including estimating a size of a second orifice within an image or an x-ray image, and wherein the fourth user interface includes the image or the x-ray image and the estimated size of the second orifice overlaid as a numerical value on either the image or the x-ray image;
displaying, on the display device, a fifth user interface during a fourth portion of the medical procedure, wherein the fourth portion of the medical procedure includes delivering laser energy, wherein the fifth user interface includes an image of an energy delivery element delivering laser energy within the lumen;
displaying, on the display device, a sixth user interface during a fifth portion of the medical procedure, wherein the fifth portion of the medical procedure includes delivering a stent into a lumen of the patient, wherein the sixth user interface includes an image of the stent while disposed within the patient;
and
displaying, on the display device, a seventh user interface after the medical procedure has concluded, wherein the seventh user interface includes data relating to the one or more of the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth portions of the medical procedure,
wherein each of the user interfaces on the display device includes a plurality of tabs, and wherein each of the plurality of tabs corresponds to one of the user interfaces and portions of the medical procedure.
