Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus for inserting a needle and a method for cannulation of a blood vessel. The apparatus can include a targeting assembly to identify a target location and an insertion path for the needle. The apparatus can further include a frame and insertion assembly to hold and place the needle. A user interface can be provided to provide feedback to an operator. The apparatus can include an adjustable band that engages a body portion of the patient. The method can include placing and securing the frame to the body portion. The method can further include locating the target location and inserting the needle through a target area.
Claims23
A system, comprising:
- a first transducer configured to:
- collect first data associated with an anatomical site comprising target anatomy;
- and
- be positioned on a surface of a patient at a first location;
- a second transducer configured to:
- collect second data associated with the anatomical site;
- and
- be positioned on the surface of the patient at a second location different from the first location,
- wherein the first transducer and the second transducer are configured to be moved independently of one another when collecting the first and second data;
- and
- one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to:
- receive the first and second data from the first and second transducers;
- and
- generate, based on the first and second data, a three-dimensional representation of the target anatomy, wherein the target anatomy includes at least one of an organ.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors from a first transducer, first data associated with an anatomical site comprising target anatomy, the first transducer positioned on a surface of a patient at a first location;
- receiving, by the one or more processors from a second transducer, second data associated with the anatomical site, the second transducer positioned on the surface of the patient at a second location different from the first location, wherein the first transducer and the second transducer are configured to be moved independently of one another when collecting the first and second data;
- and
- generate, by the one or more processors based on the first and second data, a three-dimensional representation of the target anatomy, wherein the target anatomy includes at least one of an organ.
A system, comprising:
- at least one transducer configured to:
- collect data associated with an anatomical site comprising target anatomy;
- and
- be positioned on a surface of a patient at a first location;
- one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to:
- receive the data from the at least one transducer;
- and
- generate, based on the real-time data, a three-dimensional representation of the target anatomy, wherein the target anatomy is an organ.
