Problems solved by technology

Each of these steps slows down the biopsy workflow, requires training, is operator dependent and prone to operator error
[0005] Although prostate biopsy is described herein as an illustrative example, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that similar difficulties arise in documented locations for other image-guided surgical procedures employing medical imaging video guidance.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] refer to figure 1 , shows an illustrative ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy system. Ultrasound imaging system 10 provides image guidance for targeting known lesions or other suspicious areas of the prostate for biopsy. Ultrasound imaging system 10 may be, for example, the EPIQ® available from Royal Philips Ltd., Eindhoven, The Netherlands. TM An ultrasound imaging system, or may be another commercial or custom ultrasound imaging system. Rectal ultrasound probe 12 is inserted into the rectum of patient 14 . (in the graphical figure 1 The lower half of the patient is cut away to reveal the inserted probe 12 that would otherwise be obscured from view. Typically, the patient is lying on their side or on their back with the legs elevated and secured to table extensions). An illustrative ultrasound probe 12 is connected to the ultrasound imaging system 10 via a cable 15 . The illustrative ultrasound probe 12 includes an integrated biopsy needle assembly 16 for collectin...

Abstract

An interventional instrument (16) is inserted into a patient (14) to perform an interventional medical procedure guided by the medical imaging device (10). Trigger controller (26) is activated. The electronic data processing device (30) is programmed to operate the medical imaging device to: acquire and display video (50) of the interventional instrument (16) being inserted into the patient; detect activation of the trigger controller in response to said detection, processing a video segment (54) of the acquired video to identify a trigger image (60) as a frame of said video segment capturing a medical intervention event performed by said interventional instrument and identifying the identified a location (62) of said medical intervention event in a trigger image; and displaying a still image of the identified trigger image with a superimposed marker (102) indicating said identified location of said medical intervention event .

Description

technical field [0001] The following generally relates to the field of imaging-guided surgery, such as the field of biopsy, the field of brachytherapy, and the like. Background technique [0002] Image-guided surgical procedures are used for a variety of purposes, such as tissue sample extraction (ie, biopsy) procedures, targeted laser ablation procedures, and brachytherapy procedures in which radioactive particles are delivered to a target location. An example of such a procedure is a prostate biopsy procedure. Prostate cancer affects one in six men in the United States and was the second leading cause of cancer death among American men in 2014. Prostate biopsies are typically performed under ultrasound imaging guidance, using brightness mode ("B"-mode) ultrasound video imaging to help the urologist target known lesions or other suspicious prostate areas for biopsy. A known system for ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy is UroNav TM system (available from Invivo Corp., Gai...
