MUMBAI, India, Oct. 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517063887 A) filed by Medical Isight (UK) Ltd., London, on July 4, for 'a method and system for processing fluoroscopic images to reconstruct a path or network.'
Inventor(s) include Pratt, Philip.
The application for the patent was published on Oct. 10, under issue no. 41/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A computing system is configured to receive first and second two-dimensional fluoroscopic images acquired at first and second orientations. Each of the images includes a representation of a network in a subject. The network may comprise, for example, an instrument such as a guidewire or an anatomical feature such as a respiratory system, For each image, the representation of the network in that image is divided into a sequence of steps. For each image, a determination is made, for each step in the sequence of steps, of a corresponding back projection to an X-ray source used to acquire the fluoroscopic images. This determination generates a first sequential set of back projections for the first image and a second sequential set of back projections for the second image. A three-dimensional path of the network in the subject is now reconstructed based on a sequence of pairs. Each pair in the path comprises a first back projection from the first sequential set and a second back projection from the second sequential set. The pairs are selected according to the distance of closest approach between the first back projection and the second back projection. A computer-implemented method for performing an analogous reconstruction of a network is also provided."
The patent application was internationally filed on Dec. 07, 2023, under International application No.PCT/GB2023/053161.
