Embodiment Construction

[0014] In accordance with the present principles, a system is provided that uses geometric feedback from digital annotations or markers placed on anatomical structures in an image to develop a more automated approach for determining transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) views or views in other procedures and methods. The images will be fed back to the TEE probe robotic positioning system, which will assist in simplifying the workflow of the echocardiographer and interventionalist during the procedure.

[0015] In structural heart disease interventions, TEE is an imaging modality (using ultrasound) that is commonly used to find the viewing plane of the anatomy in order to perform specific tasks during the intervention. Finding the correct viewing plane can be challenging for the echocardiography technician because of the extensive manual manipulation and adjustment (or correction) of the position and orientation of the TEE probe. This principle provides an automated method t...

Abstract

An imaging system includes an annotation device (154) configured to generate annotations in images of a first imaging modality or a second imaging modality. A registration module (115) is configured to fuse images of the first and second imaging modalities including the annotations. A robot guidance control system (156) is configured to guide a robot (144) in accordance with the annotations and ameasured position of the robot to position and maintain an assigned view position in a fused image of the first and second imaging modalities.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to medical instrumentation, and more particularly to systems and methods for automatically manipulating and maintaining clinical or standard views using image annotation. Background technique [0002] During structural heart disease interventions, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) imaging requires specific clinical views of the anatomy of interest to perform specific tasks during the procedure. This task can include the ability to locate and deploy equipment within a target, make quantitative measurements of a target, or evaluate a target at a specific point in time. There are many different TEE views of the desired target in structural heart disease interventions, including but not limited to "frontal" view of the mitral valve, midesophageal four-chamber view, long axis view, transgastric view, trileaflet aortic valve view , x-plane views, etc. These views can be of great help in enabling cardiologists and echocar...
