Abstract
To enhance safety of interventional procedures, a method for monitoring an interventional procedure that is carried out using an artificial object, such as a catheter, is provided. At least one image of the interventional procedure is acquired. The at least one image is analyzed automatically with regard to a specified anomalous feature relating to a geometry and/or a time-dependent movement parameter and/or a flow behavior of the artificial object. A complication signal is automatically generated only if the specified anomalous feature is detected in the at least one image.
Claims20
A method for monitoring an interventional procedure that is carried out using an artificial object, the method comprising:
- acquiring, by an acquisition device, at least one image of the interventional procedure;
- automatically analyzing the at least one image with regard to a specified anomalous feature relating to a geometry, a time-dependent movement parameter, a flow behavior, or any combination thereof of the artificial object;
- automatically generating a complication signal only when the specified anomalous feature is detected in the at least one image;
- and
- carrying out a plausibility check,
- wherein the complication signal is automatically generated only when analysis data from the automatically analyzing of the at least one image matches corresponding data from a data source other than a source of the at least one image, and
- wherein the data source comprises a log data source that makes live logs available, one or more sensors, or any combination thereof.
A device for monitoring an interventional procedure, the device comprising:
- an acquisition device configured to acquire at least one image of the interventional procedure;
- an analysis device configured to automatically analyze the at least one image with regard to a specified anomalous feature relating to a geometry, a time-dependent movement parameter, a flow behavior, or any combination thereof of an artificial object;
- and
- a signal generator configured to;
- automatically generate a complication signal only when the specified anomalous feature is detected in the at least one image;
- and
- carry out a plausibility check,
- wherein the complication signal is automatically generated only when analysis data from the automatic analysis of the at least one image matches corresponding data from a data source other than the acquisition device, and
- wherein the data source comprises a log data source that makes live logs available, one or more sensors, or any combination thereof.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions executable by one or more processors to monitor an interventional procedure that is carried out using an artificial object, the instructions comprising:
- acquiring, by an acquisition device, at least one image of the interventional procedure;
- automatically analyzing the at least one image with regard to a specified anomalous feature relating to a geometry, a time-dependent movement parameter, a flow behavior, or any combination thereof of the artificial object;
- automatically generating a complication signal only when the specified anomalous feature is detected in the at least one image;
- and
- carrying out a plausibility check,
- wherein the complication signal is automatically generated only when analysis data from the automatically analyzing of the at least one image matches corresponding data from a data source other than a source of the at least one image, and
- wherein the data source comprises a log data source that makes live logs available, one or more sensors, or any combination thereof.
