Abstract
A system and method for planning surgical procedure including a treatment zone setting view presenting at least one slice of a 3D reconstruction generated from CT image data including a target. The treatment zone setting view presenting a treatment zone marker defining a location and a size of a treatment zone and configured to adjust the treatment zone marker in response to a received user input. The system and method further including a volumetric view presenting a 3D volume derived from the 3D reconstruction and a 3D representation of the treatment zone marker relative to structures depicted in the 3D volume.
Claims20
A user interface for planning a treatment procedure, the user interface comprising:
- a treatment zone setting view including:
- at least one slice of a 3D reconstruction generated from CT image data including a target;
- a 2D representation of an instrument;
- a user-selectable power level setting having a corresponding predetermined size limit;
- a treatment zone marker defining a location and a size of a treatment zone, the treatment zone marker being adjustable by received treatment zone marker adjustment inputs to:
- adjust the location and the size of the treatment zone defined by the treatment zone marker;
- and
- adjust an orientation and a position of the 2D representation of the instrument relative to the at least one slice of the 3D reconstruction;
- and
- an alert generated when the size of the treatment zone defined by the treatment zone marker is adjusted to exceed the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable power level setting.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with a program that, when executed by a processor, performs the steps of:
- presenting a treatment zone setting view including at least one slice of a 3D reconstruction generated from CT image data including a target and a 2D representation of an instrument;
- presenting a treatment zone marker defining a location and a size of a treatment zone on the at least one slice of the 3D reconstruction;
- adjusting the location and the size of the treatment zone defined by the treatment zone marker in response to received treatment zone marker adjustment user inputs, wherein, in response to the received treatment zone marker adjustment user input, an orientation and a position of the 2D representation of the instrument are adjusted relative to the at least one slice of the 3D reconstruction;
- presenting a user-selectable power level setting having a corresponding predetermined size limit;
- and
- generating an alert when the size of the treatment zone defined by the treatment zone marker is adjusted to exceed the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable power level setting.
A method of planning a treatment procedure via a user interface, the method comprising:
- presenting a treatment zone setting view including at least one slice of a 3D reconstruction generated from image data including a 2D representation of an instrument;
- presenting a treatment zone on the at least one slice of the 3D reconstruction;
- adjusting a location and a size of the treatment zone in response to a received user input, wherein, in response to the received user input, an orientation and a position of the 2D representation of the instrument are adjusted relative to the at least one slice of the 3D reconstruction;
- presenting a user-selectable power level setting having a corresponding predetermined size limit;
- and
- generating an alert when the size of the treatment zone is adjusted to exceed the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable power level setting.
