    摘要: A method and system for editing a lumen contour of a tomographic image. A method comprises: receiving image data corresponding to a plurality of tomographic images acquired by an imaging catheter scanning a blood vessel; obtaining, by a processor, an automatically-generated lumen contour of the blood vessel from a tomographic image of the blood vessel; displaying, on a display, the automatically-generated lumen contour overlaid on the tomographic image of the blood vessel; identifying a true lumen edge of the blood vessel in the tomographic image; estimating a percentage of matching between a shape of the automatically-generated lumen contour to a shape of the true lumen edge; and receiving editing operations from a user via a touchscreen interface for editing at least part of the automatically-generated lumen contour based on the estimated percentage of matching. Plural editing modes are available based on the percentage of matching meeting one or more thresholds.

    摘要: There is provided medical devices and methods of use. The medical device comprising: an elongated tube; a balloon disposed over the elongate tube having at least one drug and at least one fluorescent agent on an outer surface of the balloon; an optical probe at the distal end of the elongate tube comprising an optical fiber configured to guide illumination light coming from a light source and an optical member configured for fluorescence imaging; and one or more detectors configured for fluorescence detection. The probe may comprise an optical probe for fluorescence imaging, and optionally an additional probe component for structural imaging or physiological sensing. The method can be particularly useful for determining whether sufficient dose of a drug has been transferred from a balloon to the lumen.

    摘要: An apparatus for correction of a direction to which a tool channel or a camera moves or is bent in a case where a displayed image is rotated. The apparatus includes at least one memory and at least one processor that executes instructions stored in the memory to receive a directional command of a capturing direction of a camera, move the capturing direction of the camera according to the received directional command, detect a rotation amount of a captured image displayed on a monitor, wherein the captured image is captured by the camera, and correct, based on the detected rotation amount, directional information corresponding to a particular directional command or directional coordinate for moving the camera, wherein the directional information is used for moving the capturing direction of the camera.

    摘要: An apparatus is provided that configures one or more processors to obtain a plurality of photos, group the plurality of photos into groups and identify one or more photos as candidates to remove from among the plurality of photos wherein at least one group has two or more photos that are not the candidates to remove. A control operation is performed to display on a display a screen representing, for each group, one or more photos that are candidates to remove and one or more photos that are not the candidates to remove in distinguishable from each other. In certain embodiments, the grouping is performed based on a similarity and capture time of each photo being analyzed and, in some instances, two or more photos are grouped into a same group when the photos are captured in a consecutive capture mode.
