Embodiment Construction

[0033] Aspects of the present disclosure are now described with reference to exemplary devices, methods, and systems for bladder mapping. Some aspects are described with reference to medical procedures in which the imaging element is located adjacent to a wall of an organ, such as the bladder wall. References to a particular type of procedure, such as a medical procedure; an imaging element, such as a camera; an organ, such as a bladder; and / or an organ wall, such as a bladder or muscle wall, are provided for convenience and are not intended to limit the disclosure. Therefore, the concepts described here can be used for any similar mapping method - medical or otherwise.

[0034]This article describes a number of axes. Each axis can be transverse or even perpendicular to the next to establish a Cartesian coordinate system with origin O. An axis may extend along the longitudinal axis of the object. The directional terms "proximal" and "distal" and their corresponding initials...

Abstract

Aspects of bladder mapping are described herein. According to one aspect, an exemplary method comprises: generating, with an imaging element, a video feed depicting a bladder wall; establishing, with a processor, markers on the bladder wall in the video feed; tracking, with the processor, relative movements between the markers; and / or identifying, with the processor, a location of a contraction of the bladder wall based on the relative movements. Associated devices and systems also are described.

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to medical devices and procedures. A particular aspect relates to bladder mapping. Background technique [0002] Various disorders can challenge healthy bladder function, such as those resulting from age, injury, or disease. Several disorders result in improper communication between the nervous system and bladder muscles. For example, some disorders disrupt communication between the bladder's nerves and muscles, resulting in spontaneous contractions or movements at locations on the bladder wall. Identifying the location of each contraction may aid in treatment. Because contractions generate measurable electrical activity, the location of some contractions can be identified by placing electrodes in physical contact with the bladder wall and measuring the electrical activity with the electrodes. [0003] Obtaining accurate identification of the location of the contraction using electrode-based methods can be...
