Abstract
System and computer-implemented method for operating an ultrasound transducer and generating an R-Mode image from at least a set of images of a region of interest and generating a treatment plan, wherein the treatment plan can be automatically updated in view of defined constraints or manually modified by the operator.
Claims18
A computer system for generating a treatment plan, the system comprising:
- an ultrasound transducer capable of operating in an imaging and therapy mode;
- a memory, storing computer executable instructions;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to said memory and configured to execute the instructions to perform the following steps:
- receiving a set of images from the ultrasound transducer operating in an imaging mode as oriented to a region of interest;
- generating an R-Mode image from the set of images;
- generating a treatment plan;
- and
- providing an interface for modifying the treatment plan and monitoring progress of the treatment plan during execution by the ultrasound transducer operating in the therapy mode.
At least one non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon data representing sequences of instructions, which when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to:
- receive a plurality of imaging data from an ultrasound transducer operating in an imaging mode;
- generate an R-Mode image corresponding to the received imaging data;
- generate a treatment plan;
- receive modifications to the treatment plan by way of an interface;
- and
- provide updates as to the execution of the treatment plan on a target as carried out by the ultrasound transducer operating in a therapy mode.
A method executed by one or more computing for generating a treatment plan, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by a computer, a set of images for a target region;
- generating, by a computer, an R-Mode image for the target region as derived from the received set of images;
- generating, by a computer, a treatment plan;
- receiving, by a computer, modifications to the treatment plan;
- generating, by a computer, status updates for the treatment plan correlating to the treatment of the target region by an ultrasound transducer operating in a therapy mode and executing at least a portion of the treatment plan.
