Abstract
A coiling parameterization tool includes a processor and a display for displaying values of lumen volume, packing and coiling parameters for filling a lumen in relation to a desired packing. The processor is configured to detect a change in one of the displayed values and, in response to the change, to automatically evaluate, change and display remaining values displayed on the display.
Claims14
A method of interactively determining coiling parameters for filling a lumen with at least one coil, comprising acts of:
- determining a lumen volume of the lumen;
- interactively determining at least one coil parameter of the coiling parameters in relation to a packing based on the determined lumen volume of the lumen, wherein the packing is a ratio of a coil volume of the at least one coil to the lumen volume of the lumen;
- displaying on a screen of a display device values of the lumen volume, the packing, a number of coil sets, and the least one coil parameter, the least one coil parameter including coil thicknesses of the each coil, coils lengths of the each coil and a number of coils in each of the coil sets;
- changing a value of one of the values displayed on the screen;
- and
- in response to the changing act, automatically changing at least one of remaining values displayed on the screen.
A device for interactively determining at least one coiling parameter of at least one coil used for filling a lumen, the device comprising:
- an input unit configured to receive input values of a lumen volume of the lumen and a packing, wherein the packing is a ratio of a coil volume of the of least one coil to the lumen volume;
- a processor configured to interactively determine said at least one coil parameter based on the input values;
- and
- an output unit configured to output values of the lumen volume, the at least one coil parameter and the packing,
- wherein the output unit comprises a display and wherein, in response to a change in a value of one of the values displayed on the display, the processor is further configured in automatically change at least one of remaining values displayed on the display.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer instructions which, when executed by a processor, configure the processor to interactively determine coiling parameters for filling a lumen with at least one coil by performing acts of:
- determining a lumen volume of the lumen;
- interactively determining at least one coil parameter of the coiling parameters in relation to a packing based on the determined lumen volume, wherein the packing is a ratio of a coil volume of the at least one coil to the lumen volume;
- displaying on a screen of a display device values of the lumen volume, the packing, a number of coil sets, and the least one coil parameter, the least one coil parameter including coil thicknesses of the each coil, coils lengths of the each coil and a number of coils in each of the coil sets;
- changing a value of one of the values displayed on the screen;
- and
- in response to the changing act, automatically changing at least one of remaining values displayed on the screen.
