Embodiment Construction

[0022] To promote an understanding of the principles of the disclosure, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, and specific language will be used to describe them. It should be understood, however, that no limitation of the scope of the present disclosure is intended. Any alterations and further modifications to the described apparatus, systems, and methods, and any further applications of the principles of the disclosure, as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains, are fully contemplated and included in this disclosure. For example, while the medical imaging device and interface are described in terms of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), it should be understood that it is not intended to be limited to that application. The system is also well-suited for any application requiring imaging within closed cavities or body lumens. In particular, it is fully contemplated that features, components and / o...

Abstract

An intraluminal medical imaging interface device includes an arm assembly comprising one or more longitudinal members and one or more joints coupled to the one or more longitudinal members, and a headassembly coupled to a distal portion of the arm assembly and comprising a proximal portion coupled to the distal portion of the arm assembly and a distal portion. The distal portion of the head assembly includes a mechanical coupling and an electrical coupling configured to separably connect to an intraluminal imaging catheter and to transmit electrical signals between a console and the intraluminal imaging catheter. The arm assembly is configured to couple to a surface to maintain the head assembly at a first position and an orientation with respect to a patient without continued support byan operator. Associated devices, systems, and methods are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to intraluminal medical imaging systems, and more particularly to intraluminal medical imaging interface devices and systems including articulating arm assemblies and mounts to support a medical imaging catheter in a surgical environment during imaging operations. Background technique [0002] Diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound catheters have been designed for use in many areas of the human body. In the cardiovascular system, two common diagnostic ultrasound methods are intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). Typically, a single rotating transducer or array of transducer elements is used to transmit ultrasound at the tip of the imaging catheter. The same transducer (or a separate transducer) is used to receive echoes from the tissue. The signals generated from the echoes are transmitted to a console which allows processing, storage, display and / or manipulation of ultrasound ...
