Application: Medical system, method for processing medical image, and medical image processing apparatus (Patent ID: US20240013385A1)
The patent filed by Terumo Corp. describes a medical system that includes a catheter with a sensor for insertion into a luminal organ, a display apparatus, and an image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus generates an image of the organ, inputs it to a machine learning model to identify objects, determines the size of a stent needed based on the object type and region, and displays information about the stent size. The system is particularly useful for blood vessels, where it can calculate plaque burdens, identify lesions, determine stent diameters, landing zones, and lengths, and select the appropriate stent type based on availability.
Furthermore, the patent also outlines a method for processing medical images of luminal organs, specifically blood vessels with plaque. The method involves generating images using a catheter sensor, inputting them into a machine learning model to identify objects like plaque, determining stent sizes based on object characteristics, and displaying the necessary information. It includes steps for calculating plaque burdens, identifying lesions, determining stent diameters, landing zones, lengths, and selecting the appropriate stent type based on availability. This method streamlines the process of determining stent sizes and types for implantation in luminal organs, particularly blood vessels affected by plaque build-up.
