Abstract
Disclosed is a system to assist in selecting and/or suggesting an instrument for a procedure. The suggestion may be based upon or include analysis of image data of a subject. The instrument may be suggested for placement inside a tubular structure.
Claims23
A method of selecting an instrument for placement within a subject, comprising:
- preparing image data of the subject;
- analyzing a geometry of a subject structure in the prepared image data;
- determining a type of structure within the subject based on the analyzed geometry of the subject;
- evaluating an instrument database including parameters of a plurality of instruments in the instrument database;
- and
- outputting at least one suggested instrument based on the evaluation of the instrument database and the determined type of structure within the subject.

A method of selecting an instrument for placement within a subject, comprising:
- creating a model of at least a structure in a subject with image data of the subject;
- analyzing a geometry of the structure in the created model;
- identifying a coronary sinus in the created model and divide the coronary sinus into three sections;
- determining a type of a target vein that includes a target location based on the analyzed geometry of the subject;
- evaluating an instrument database including parameters of a plurality of instruments in the instrument database;
- and
- outputting at least one suggested instrument based on the evaluation of the instrument database and the determined type of the target vein within the subject.
4 more elements
A system for selecting an instrument for placement within a subject, comprising:
- a display device configured to display a created model;
- an input to allow for input;
- and
- a processor system configured to execute instructions to:
- create a model of at least a structure in a subject with image data of the subject;
- analyze a geometry of the structure in the created model;
- identify a coronary sinus in the created model and divide the coronary sinus into three sections;
- receive an input of a target location in a target vein;
- determine a type of the target vein that includes the target location based on the analyzed geometry of the subject;
- evaluate parameters of a plurality of instruments in an instrument database;
- and
- output at least one suggested instrument based on the evaluation of the parameters and the determined type of the target vein within the subject;
- wherein the display device is configured to display the output.
