Abstract
Systems and techniques for virtual assessment of an implantation path for a medical device are presented. A system can analyze multi-dimensional medical imaging data regarding a patient body and a lesion area, generate a set of paths to reach the lesion area for deployment of a medical device, rank the set of paths to reach the lesion area, and recommend a subset of the paths for deployment of the medical device. The system can also generate a display of the recommendations and a multi-dimensional visualization of the recommended subset of paths for the deployment of the medical device.
Claims20
A medical device implantation path assessment system, comprising:
- a memory that stores computer executable components;
- a processor that executes computer executable components;
- a path assessment component that analyzes multi-dimensional medical imaging data regarding a patient body and a lesion area, and generates a set of paths to reach the lesion area for deployment of a medical device;
- a recommendation component that ranks the set of paths to reach the lesion area, and recommends a subset of the paths for deployment of the medical device;
- and
- a visualization component that generates a display of the recommendations and a multi-dimensional visualization of the recommended subset of paths for the deployment of the medical device.
A method, comprising:
- analyzing, by a system comprising a processor, multi-dimensional medical imaging data associated with a patient body and a lesion area associated with an anatomic vessel;
- generating, by the system, a set of implantation paths for a medical device to reach the lesion area;
- ranking, by the system, the implantation paths for the medical device to reach the lesion area;
- recommending, by the system, a subset of the implantation paths for deployment of the medical device;
- and
- generating, by the system, a display associated with a multi-dimensional visualization of the recommended subset of implantation paths for the deployment of the medical device.
A computer readable storage device comprising instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:
- segmenting three-dimensional medical imaging data associated with an anatomic vessel and a lesion area associated with the anatomic vessel;
- generating a set of candidate implantation paths for a medical device to reach the lesion area;
- ranking the candidate implantation paths for the medical device to reach the lesion area;
- selecting an implantation path for deployment of the medical device based on the ranking;
- and
- generating a display associated with a three-dimensional rendering of the implantation path for the deployment of the medical device.
