Medical viewing system with viewing surface decision

摘要

To provide a medical viewing system which improves a process of selecting and providing a device viewing plane in ultrasound images.SOLUTION: A medical viewing system with a viewing plane determination comprises an X-ray image acquisition device, an echocardiographic image acquisition device and a processing unit. The X-ray image acquisition device acquires an X-ray image in an X-ray imaging plane. The echocardiographic image acquisition device acquires a plurality of echocardiographic images. The processing unit determines an indicator in the X-ray image indicating a viewing plane for an echocardiographic image. The indicator may be an indicator line in the X-ray image indicating the viewing plane perpendicular to the X-ray imaging plane. The processing unit registers or fuses the X-ray image and the plurality of echocardiographic images together, and then provides an echocardiographic image in the identified viewing plane. The identified viewing plane may be related to specific plane of a device or of a specific anatomical structure.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
