Abstract
Systems and methods for treating a lung disease including capturing a first set of images of at least a portion of a lung displaying symptoms of a lung disease, generating a three dimensional model from the first set of images, locating a target nerve proximate the portion of the lung, generating a treatment plan, and on-invasively denervating the target nerve based on the treatment plan such that the function of the portion of the lung is affected.
Claims21
A system for identification and denervation of a lung nerve, comprising:
- a memory configured to receive a first set of images of at least a portion of a lung displaying symptoms of the lung disease;
- a processor configured to execute an application and generate a three dimensional model of the portion of the lung captured in the first set of images;
- a display presenting a user interface enabling a user to review the first set of images and the three dimensional model to locate a target nerve proximate the portion of the captured in the first set of images;
- and
- a treatment device configured to non-invasively denervate the target nerve based on a treatment plan developed from the three dimensional model and the first set of images such that the function of the portion of the lung is affected.
