Benefits of technology

The present invention is a system and method that uses contrasted pre-procedural images to improve guidance during interventional procedures. This allows physicians to better plan for the procedure and reduces the time required for the procedure. It also minimizes patient exposure to radiation and is efficient in incorporation into fluoroscopy suites. Overall, this invention improves the accuracy and effectiveness of interventional procedures.

Problems solved by technology

Since the prior art uses intra-procedural images, physicians do not have sufficient time to generate 3D visualizations, nor do they have the time to generate detailed procedural plans.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]In one exemplary embodiment, the invention is intended to provide a framework for registering intra-procedural surface images of the abdomen with surfaces extracted from pre-procedural image data (e.g., magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) volumes) for the purposes of providing image-guidance during percutaneous surgical procedures. Registration is a method of determining the mathematical relationship between two coordinate spaces and is a critical component in image-guided surgery (IGS) devices. The goal of IGS is to allow the clinician to interactively use high resolution, high contrast pre-procedural tomographic image data within the intervention via overlay display of tracked surgical instrumentation.

[0024]Intra-procedural surface images of the abdomen can be acquired using laser range scanning (LRS) technology, manually with an optically tracked stylus, or via any other imaging modality that can be used for abdominal surface extraction (e.g., ultra...

Abstract

A system and method for using pre-procedural images for registration for image-guided therapy (IGT), also referred to as image-guided intervention (IGI), in percutaneous surgical application. Pseudo-features and patient abdomen and organ surfaces are used for registration and to establish the relationship needed for guidance. Three-dimensional visualizations of the vasculature, tumor(s), and organs may be generated for enhanced guidance information. The invention facilitates extensive pre-procedural planning, thereby significantly reducing procedural times. It also minimizes the patient exposure to radiation.
