Embodiment Construction

[0122] The illustrations in the drawings are schematic. In different figures, similar or identical elements are provided with the same reference numerals.

[0123] figure 1 An exemplary embodiment of an apparatus 1 for providing treatment guidance for an ablation procedure is schematically represented. exist figure 1 In an exemplary embodiment of , the ablation procedure is performed for the purpose of renal denervation. That is, the ablation treatment is performed on the vessel wall of the renal artery.

[0124] The apparatus 1 includes an input unit 100 , a processing unit 200 , a comparison unit 300 and an output unit 400 . The output unit 400 includes an indication unit 401 and is communicatively coupled to a user interface 500 including a display unit 501 and an input unit 502 .

[0125] The input unit 100 receives a first time series 10 of diagnostic images representing a first state and a second time series 20 of diagnostic images representing a second state. on t...

Abstract

There is provided a device for providing patient selection and treatment guidance for an ablation treatment, in particular a renal denervation treatment, the device being adapted to derive two dynamic measures from two time series of diagnostic images indicative of two states of a patient, in order to determine at least one indicator indicative of a relative difference between the first state and the second state. Based on the at least one indicator, it is possible to track progress of the ablation treatment and determine whether the ablation treatment has completed. In addition, the indicator may be used to select a possible responder to the ablation treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for providing treatment guidance for an ablation procedure, a corresponding method and a corresponding computer program. In particular, the present invention relates to devices and methods for providing treatment guidance and patient selection for renal denervation procedures employing ablation of the nerves on the vessel wall of the renal artery. Background technique [0002] Hypertension (HTN), commonly referred to as hypertension, is a long-term medical condition that is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease, heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, and the like. Therefore, it is critical to appropriately manage such hypertension to reduce the risk that the patient may further develop the disease caused by it. [0003] Typically, hypertension is managed by controlling blood pressure by means of corresponding antihypertensive drugs, often with the patient making necessary modifications to hi...
