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 a display of:
- at least one of a 3D rendering generated from CT image data including a target or a slice of a 3D reconstruction generated from CT image data including the target;
- at least one of a user-selectable power level setting having a predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable power level setting or a user-selectable treatment device having a predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable treatment device,
- wherein the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable power level setting and the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable treatment device are associated with a threshold of a size of a treatment zone;
- a treatment zone marker defining a location and the size of the treatment zone displayed relative to the at least one of the 3D rendering or the slice of the 3D reconstruction, the treatment zone marker being adjustable by received treatment zone marker adjustment inputs to adjust the size of the treatment zone defined by the treatment zone marker;
- and
- an alert generated when the size of the treatment zone defined by the treatment zone marker is adjusted to exceed at least one of the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable power level setting or the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable treatment device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with a program that, when executed by a processor, performs steps of:
- presenting a treatment zone setting view including at least one of a 3D rendering generated from CT image data including a target or a slice of a 3D reconstruction generated from CT image data including the target;
- presenting a treatment zone marker defining a location and a size of a treatment zone displayed relative to the at least one of the 3D rendering or the slice of the 3D reconstruction;
- adjusting the size of the treatment zone defined by the treatment zone marker in response to received treatment zone marker adjustment user inputs;
- presenting at least one of a user-selectable power level setting having a predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable power level setting or a user-selectable treatment device having a predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable treatment device,
- wherein the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable power level setting and the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable treatment device are associated with a threshold of a size of a treatment zone;
- and
- generating an alert when the size of the treatment zone defined by the treatment zone marker is adjusted to exceed at least one of the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable power level setting or the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable treatment device.
A method of planning a treatment procedure via a user interface, the method comprising:
- presenting a treatment zone setting view including at least one of a 3D rendering generated from CT image data including a target or a slice of a 3D reconstruction generated from CT image data including the target;
- presenting a treatment zone marker defining a location and a size of a treatment zone displayed relative to the at least one of the 3D rendering or the slice of the 3D reconstruction;
- adjusting the size of the treatment zone defined by the treatment zone marker in response to received treatment zone marker adjustment user inputs;
- presenting at least one of a user-selectable power level setting having a predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable power level setting or a user-selectable treatment device having a predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable treatment device,
- wherein the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable power level setting and the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable treatment device are associated with a threshold of a size of a treatment zone;
- and
- generating an alert when the size of the treatment zone defined by the treatment zone marker is adjusted to exceed at least one of the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable power level setting or the predetermined size limit corresponding to the user-selectable treatment device.
