Abstract
A system includes a magnetic stimulation coil; and a machine vision navigation device comprising a camera configured to capture successive still images and/or to stream video indicating position of the magnetic stimulation coil. The machine vision navigation device is configured to determine, based on the successive still images and/or the video, the position of the magnetic stimulation coil relative to a target treatment area of a patient, and cause, based on the position of the magnetic stimulation coil relative to the target treatment area of the patient, display of an indication of the position of the magnetic stimulation coil relative to the target treatment area of the patient.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a magnetic stimulation coil;
- and
- a machine vision navigation device comprising a camera configured to capture successive still images and/or to stream video indicating position of the magnetic stimulation coil, wherein the machine vision navigation device is configured to determine, based on the successive still images and/or the video, the position of the magnetic stimulation coil relative to a target treatment area of a patient, and cause, based on the position of the magnetic stimulation coil relative to the target treatment area of the patient, display of an indication of the position of the magnetic stimulation coil relative to the target treatment area of the patient.
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a magnetic stimulation coil;
- a camera configured to capture successive still images and/or to stream video indicating position of the magnetic stimulation coil;
- memory storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- determine, based on the successive still images and/or the video, the position of the magnetic stimulation coil relative to a target treatment area of a patient;
- and
- cause, based on the position of the magnetic stimulation coil relative to the target treatment area of the patient, display of an indication of the position of the magnetic stimulation coil relative to the target treatment area of the patient.
A method, comprising:
- receiving successive still images and/or a video stream indicating a position of a magnetic stimulation coil;
- determining, based on the successive still images and/or the video stream, the position of the magnetic stimulation coil relative to a target treatment area of a patient;
- and
- causing, based on the position of the magnetic stimulation coil relative to the target treatment area of the patient, display of an indication of the position of the magnetic stimulation coil relative to the target treatment area of the patient.
