A process for utilizing a spinal implant guide made using a diagnostic imaging tool to facilitate implantation of a device in the spine. The spinal implant guide preferably has a body designed to conform to certain predetermined, patient-specific anatomical vertebral landmarks. The guide may be fitted to the anatomical vertebral landmarks pre-operatively and/or during a surgical procedure using 3-point fixation technique to thereby substantially demarcate an optimal alignment, trajectory and angulation for the spinal implant device.

The invention provides tools and techniques for migration of user profiles in place on a computer. In one method, a first step provides a migration content storage partition to hold migration content such as user settings. This partition is provided by using a partition manipulation tool to obtain sufficient space on the computer. A second step saves migration content into the provided partition. A third step deploys an image into another partition on the computer, overwriting that partition. A fourth step then uses the migration tool to restore migration content from the migration content storage partition into the newly imaged partition, thereby customizing the new image with at least some of the former image's user settings. The migration content storage partition may then be deleted, or it may be retained and made available to the user as additional storage.

A method of determining and correcting for distortions introduced by an imaging tool. The method includes providing an imaging tool having a field of view (FOV), and creating a target pattern containing a regular array of symmetric sub-patterns having locations spanning the FOV.

Tools and techniques allow visual media to be edited by superimposing a parameter adjusting mechanism on the visual media itself and adjusting parameter settings based on user input detected by the parameter adjusting mechanism. In a visual media editing application, the parameter adjusting mechanism is superimposed on visual media so that the user can keep his eyes on the visual media and so that the visual media itself is unobscured by other user interface controls and windows as the user edits it. The user sets control points on the visual media that act as a fixed reference points for subsequent user input. The parameter adjusting mechanism detects subsequent user input calculates new parameter settings based on that input.

The present invention is directed to a method for combining assessment of different factors of dyssynchrony into a comprehensive, non-invasive toolbox for treating patients with a CRT therapy device. The toolbox provides high spatial resolution, enabling assessment of regional function, as well as enabling derivation of global metrics to improve patient response and selection for CRT therapy. The method allows for quantitative assessment and estimation of mechanical contraction patterns, tissue viability, and venous anatomy from CT scans combined with electrical activation patterns from Body Surface Potential Mapping (BSPM). This multi-modal method is therefore capable of integrating electrical, mechanical, and structural information about cardiac structure and function in order to guide lead placement of CRT therapy devices. The method generates regional electro-mechanical properties overlaid with cardiac venous distribution and scar tissue. The fusion algorithm for combining all of the data suggests cardiac segments and routes for implantation of epicardial pacing leads.
