Abstract
A controller (260) for identifying rotation of an interventional medical device (252) includes a memory that stores instructions and a processor that executes the instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the controller (260) to execute a process that includes receiving (S410) a first signal emitted from the interventional medical device (252) and corresponding to a first predetermined direction relative to the interventional interventional medical device (252) relative to a fixed rotation.

A controller (260) for identifying rotation of an interventional medical device (252), comprising:
- a memory (262) that stores instructions;
- and
- a processor (261) that executes the instructions,
- wherein, when executed by the processor (261), the instructions cause the controller (260) to execute a process comprising:
- receiving a first signal (S410) emitted from the interventional medical device (252) and corresponding to a first predetermined direction relative to the interventional medical device (252);
- determining (S420), based on the first signal, a first rotation of the interventional medical device (252) relative to a fixed rotation.
A method for identifying rotation of an interventional medical device (252), comprising:
- receiving (S410) a first signal emitted from the interventional medical device (252) and corresponding to a first predetermined direction relative to the interventional medical device (252);
- determining (S420), based on the first signal, a first rotation of the interventional medical device (252) relative to a fixed rotation.
A system for identifying rotation of an interventional medical device (252), comprising:
- the interventional medical device (252);
- an ultrasound imaging probe (256) that captures imagery in a space that includes the interventional medical device (252);
- and
- a controller (260) with a memory (262) that stores instructions and a processor (261) that executes the instructions,
- wherein, when executed by the processor (261), the instructions cause the controller (260) to execute a process comprising:
- receiving (S410) a first signal emitted from the interventional medical device (252) and corresponding to a first predetermined direction relative to the interventional medical device (252);
- determining (S420), based on the first signal, a first rotation of the interventional medical device (252) relative to a fixed rotation.
