DC magnetic-based position and orientation monitoring system for tracking medical instruments

ActiveUS20070078334A1Overcome disposabilityOvercome cost issueDiagnostic recording/measuringSensors3d sensorEngineering
Miniaturized, five and six degrees-of-freedom magnetic sensors, responsive to pulsed DC magnetic fields waveforms generated by multiple transmitter options, provide an improved and cost-effective means of guiding medical instruments to targets inside the human body. The end result is achieved by integrating DC tracking, 3D reconstructions of pre-acquired patient scans and imaging software into a system enabling a physician to internally guide an instrument with real-time 3D vision for diagnostic and interventional purposes. The integration allows physicians to navigate within the human body by following 3D sensor tip locations superimposed on anatomical images reconstructed into 3D volumetric computer models. Sensor data can also be integrated with real-time imaging modalities, such as endoscopes, for intrabody navigation of instruments with instantaneous feedback through critical anatomy to locate and remove tissue. To meet stringent medical requirements, the system generates and senses pulsed DC magnetic fields embodied in an assemblage of miniaturized, disposable and reposable sensors functional with both dipole and co-planar transmitters.

Real-time Visual Feedback for User Positioning with Respect to a Camera and a Display

Systems, methods, and computer program products provide near real-time feedback to a user of a camera-enabled device to guide the user to capture self-imagery when the user is in a desired position with respect the camera and / or the display of the device. The desired position optimizes aspects of self-imagery that is captured for applications in which the imagery is not primarily intended for the user's consumption. One class of such applications includes applications that rely on illuminating the user's face with light from the device's display screen. The feedback is abstracted to avoid biasing the user with aesthetic considerations. The abstracted imagery may include real-time cartoon-like line drawings of edges detected in imagery of the user's head or face.
