摘要:
An interface system and method for controlling a magnetic surgery system by displaying a virtual image of the device, adjusting the configuration of the device or the actuation controls to be applied to the device until the configuration of the displayed device assumes the configuration desired by the user, or selecting a desired target location for the tip, and causing a set of actuation controls to be applied to the actual device to cause the actual device to assume the configuration of the virtual device or to steer the device tip to the desired location.
摘要:
A method of navigating a medical device includes determining the location of a medical device at a point in an operating region in a subject's body, the medical device being responsive to at least one control variable to assume a desired configuration includes storing information representative of the at least one control variable being applied to the medical device at the point, and more preferably storing information representative of the at least one control variable and the device length.
摘要:
A system and method are provided for control of a navigation system for deploying a medical device within a subject, and for enhancement of a display image of anatomical features for viewing the projected location and movement of medical devices, and projected locations of a variety of anatomical features and other spatial markers in the operating region. The display of the X-ray imaging system information is augmented in a manner such that a physician can more easily become oriented in three dimensions with the use of a single-plane X-ray display. The projection of points and geometrical shapes within the subject body onto a known imaging plane can be obtained using associated imaging parameters and projective geometry.
