Estimating the term…
The field of the invention relates to medical imaging systems, and more particularly to systems and methods for estimating the size and position of a stent or other medical device within a patient. In one embodiment, a medical imaging system includes an elongated tubular member having distal and proximal ends, configured to be inserted into a vessel of a patient, an imaging device coupled to the distal end of the elongated tubular member, and a console electrically coupled to the imaging device, wherein the console includes a computer-usable medium, electrically coupled to the imaging device, having a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor, causes said processor to execute a process including generating an image of the vessel, and overlay one or more shapes onto the image to provide a visual approximation of the size and position of a medical device to be applied within the patient.
A medical imaging system comprising:
A method for estimating the size, location, and position of a stent to be applied within a vessel of a patient, comprising the steps of:
A system for estimating the size, location, and position of a stent to be applied within a vessel of a patient, comprising:
A non-transitory computer-usable medium having a sequence of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, causes said processor to execute a process for estimating the size, location, and position of a medical device to be applied within a vessel of a patient, the sequence of instructions comprising:
