AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing intravascular imaging systems face challenges in accurately determining the location of anatomical features, particularly in the presence of plaque that attenuates ultrasound signals, leading to reduced signal-to-noise ratios and compromised location accuracy.

Method used

An intravascular imaging display system that uses graphical indicators to visually distinguish between areas of varying location accuracy based on ultrasound signal attenuation, employing machine learning and deep learning models to determine feature positions and incorporating user input for model improvement.

Benefits of technology

Enhances the system's ability to provide accurate location information on anatomical features by visually indicating confidence levels, allowing clinicians to make informed decisions and improving the system's automated feature detection capabilities.

Abstract

A suitable intravascular imaging display system is provided. An intravascular imaging display system is provided having a control circuit and a video output circuit. The video output circuit is configured to generate a display output including a user interface. The user interface includes a plurality of graphical elements related to the vessel being imaged. The plurality of graphical elements includes a first detected feature defined by a first graphic indicator and a second detected feature defined by a second graphic indicator. The first graphic indicator is visually distinct from the second graphic indicator. The first detected feature and the second detected feature are assigned by the control circuit to indicate one or more locations along the vessel wall based on whether attenuation of the ultrasound return signal exceeds a threshold.
