Target site selection, entry and update using automatic remote image annotation

摘要

Fluorescence of the patient's heart is performed by positioning the patient in a sterile field and using an x-ray fluoroscopy system in the sterile field to image the heart and produce a two-dimensional image. Two-dimensional images are simultaneously displayed on the operating room display in or adjacent to the sterile field and on the remote image processor display outside the operating field. The two-dimensional image of the remote display is manually marked or annotated to show anatomical or treatment information, which is simultaneously shown on the operating room display. Alternatively, the patient's heart is imaged using a catheter to produce a real-time image. The image is presented on the screen and sent to the image processor. Treatment parameters are input to the image processor, which calculates the locations of multiple target treatment sites that are displayed on the screen.
