Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although acquired 2D images can be used to monitor medical instruments, the anatomy of the patient undergoing the interventional procedure is often not properly represented in these 2D images
Therefore, the physician or technician cannot monitor the medical instruments and their position relative to the patient's anatomy

Embodiment Construction

[0013] FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of a system 102 for use in the acquisition and display of a three-dimensional image dataset registered to a two-dimensional image during an interventional procedure. The system 102 includes a medical imaging device 104 that can acquire a two-dimensional image 106 . The system 102 also includes a monitoring device 110 coupled to the processor 112 . In one embodiment, processor 112 receives as input two-dimensional image 106 and three-dimensional image dataset 108 . Processor 112 is operable to generate a fused presentation 114 of two-dimensional image 106 and three-dimensional image dataset 108 . The 3D / 2D fused presentation image 114 may then be displayed using the display device 116 . Display device 116 may also receive as input three-dimensional image dataset 108 and two-dimensional image 106 for separate display.

Abstract

Three-dimensional image datasets are used to assist in the visualization of an interventional procedure. The three-dimensional image datasets are registered to two-dimensional images acquired by a medical imaging device. A display device can display a fusion visualization of the three-dimensional image datasets and the two-dimensional image. A monitoring device can monitor the progress of a medical instrument used in the interventional procedure. A processor can incorporate the position of the medical instrument in the fusion visualization displayed by the display device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and systems for incorporating three-dimensional images into interventional procedures. Specifically, acquired two-dimensional or three-dimensional image data sets are processed and displayed as fusion visualizations during the interventional procedure. Background technique [0002] Interventional procedures involving minimal invasiveness to the patient are becoming increasingly popular. Examples of minimally invasive interventional procedures include heart valve replacement or repair, stem cell therapy, placement of balloon nominal devices, tumor therapy, spinal anesthesia procedures, and invasive joint therapy. Other examples of interventional procedures include vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, myelography, bone biopsy, discography, intradiscal thermotherapy, and perpiradicular treatment. The medical devices used in these interventional procedures typically include catheters, needles and guidewires, which are oft...
