Benefits of technology

Enables fast, non-invasive, and cost-effective three-dimensional airway reconstruction and analysis, facilitating effective diagnostic and treatment planning, as well as forensic and medico-legal evaluations, without the need for specialized training or expensive equipment.

Problems solved by technology

These techniques have limited uses, however.
Other techniques, such as cone-beam tomography, generate huge file sizes, which may exceed the resources available at a typical care-provider's office.
Additionally, these techniques tend to be expensive, time-consuming and often require specially trained personnel.

Embodiment Construction

[0036]For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the embodiments described herein, reference will be made to preferred embodiments and specific language will be used to describe the same. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. As used throughout this disclosure, the singular forms “a,”“an,” and “the” include plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, a reference to “a composition” includes a plurality of such compositions, as well as a single composition, and a reference to “a geometric object” is a reference to one or more geometric objects and equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art, and so forth.

[0037]Acoustic reflectometry provides one- and two-dimensional information on a cavity. For example, the Eccovision Acoustic Pharyngometer® and / or Eccovision Acoustic Rhinometer® manufactured by Hood Laboratories, ...

Abstract

This invention relates to a system and method for three-dimensional airway reconstruction, assessment and analysis. Specifically, the invention relates to a system and method for acquiring one- and two-dimensional data regarding a cavity, such as an esophagus or an airway, and manipulating that data to reconstruct a three-dimensional geometrical object representing that cavity. Suitable data collection methods include, but are not limited to, non-ionizing, non-invasive protocols including acoustic reflectometry, such as that performed by a DOS®- or Windows®-based pharyngometer or rhinometer. The resulting three-dimensional geometric object of the subject cavity can be used to diagnose cavity morphology / obstruction, aid in management and treatment of the obstruction, evaluate efficacy of management and treatment of the obstruction and also provide information for use in outcome analysis and forensic and medico-legal evaluation of diagnosis and treatment of cavity obstruction / stenosis.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a system and method for three-dimensional airway reconstruction, assessment and analysis. Specifically, the invention relates to a system and method for acquiring one- and two-dimensional data regarding a cavity, such as an esophagus or an airway, and manipulating that data to reconstruct a three-dimensional geometrical object representing that cavity. Suitable data collection methods include, but are not limited to, non-ionizing, non-invasive protocols including acoustic reflectometry, such as that performed by a DOS®- or Windows®-based pharyngometer or rhinometer. The resulting three-dimensional geometric object of the subject cavity can be used for diagnostics assessments, such as cavity constriction / obstruction, and therefore aid in the management and treatment of the constriction / obstruction, evaluate the efficacy of management and treatment of the constriction / obstruction and also provide information for use in outcome ...
