DEFORMABLE REGISTRATION OF MEDICAL IMAGES
20230052401 · 2023-02-16 ·

Systems and computer-implemented methods of performing image registration. One method includes receiving a first image and a second image acquired from a patient at different times and, in each of the first image and the second image, detecting an upper boundary of an imaged object in an image coordinate system and detecting a lower boundary of the imaged object in the image coordinate system. The method further includes, based on the upper boundary and the lower boundary of each of the first image and the second image, cropping and padding at least one of the first image and the second image to create an aligned first image and an aligned second image and executing a registration model on the aligned first image and the aligned second image to compute a deformation field between the aligned first image and the aligned second image.

QUANTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF ANGIOGRAPHY AND PERFUSION

A method to visualize, display, analyze and quantify angiography, perfusion, and the change in angiography and perfusion in real time, is provided. This method captures image data sequences from indocyanine green near infra-red fluorescence imaging used in a variety of surgical procedure applications, where angiography and perfusion are critical for intraoperative decisions.

MONITORING OF DENTITION

A method for acquiring at least one two-dimensional image of a part of arches of a patient includes steps carried out by the patient or other person who is not a dental health professional, for example, including placing a dental separator in the mouth of the patient in order to separate the lips of the patient and improve the visibility of the teeth during the acquisition of said at least one two-dimensional image, and acquiring, in a mouth closed position and with a personal image acquisition apparatus, said at least one two-dimensional image.

HEALTH TESTING AND DIAGNOSTICS PLATFORM

Systems and methods for providing a universal platform for at-home health testing and diagnostics are provided herein. In particular, a health testing and diagnostic platform is provided to connect medical providers with patients and to generate a unique, private testing environment. In some embodiments, the testing environment may facilitate administration of a medical test to a patient with the guidance of a proctor. In some embodiments, the patient may be provided with step-by-step instructions for test administration by the proctor within a testing environment. The platform may display unique, dynamic testing interfaces to the patient and proctor to ensure proper testing protocols and accurate test result verification.

PLANNING AND NAVIGATION IN SUPERSELECTIVE DRUG DELIVERY VIA THE TRACHEOBRONCHIAL AIRWAY
20230049856 · 2023-02-16 ·

Devices, systems, and methods for localized delivery of a chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, or targeted drug/biologic therapy to a target tissue area of an internal body organ of a patient. Computer systems may be used for planning and navigation in super selective drug delivery via a tracheobronchial airway. A catheter may be used to form a sealed treatment chamber in a natural lumen extending through the target tissue area. Air is purged from the chamber, which is then filled with a liquid drug solution for an adequate treatment session time, solution volume and drug concentration to saturate the target tissue area, thereby providing the treatment. The liquid drug solution may be circulated or recirculated through the chamber or maintained stationary therewithin to saturate the target tissue area. The chamber is evacuated at the end of the treatment session.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING ABNORMALITY IN MEDICAL DEVICE

A method for determining an abnormality in a medical device from a medical image is provided. The method for determining an abnormality in a medical device comprises receiving a medical image, and detecting information on at least a part of a target medical device included in the received medical image.

AUTOMATIC INTRALUMINAL IMAGING-BASED TARGET AND REFERENCE IMAGE FRAME DETECTION AND ASSOCIATED DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS

Disclosed is an intraluminal imaging system that includes an intraluminal imaging catheter or guidewire configured to obtain imaging data associated with a lumen of a patient while positioned within the lumen, and a processor in communication with the intraluminal imaging catheter or guidewire. The processor is configured to generate aplurality of image frames using on the imaging data, automatically measure an anatomical feature in the image frames, identify a target frame representative of a region of interest, identify a proximal reference frame located proximal of the target frame, and identify a distal reference frame located distal of the target frame. The processor is also configured to output a single screen display including the proximal reference frame, target frame, distal reference frame, and a longitudinal representation of the lumen showing the respective positions of the proximal refernce frame, the target frame, and the distal refernce frame.
