In addition, the second medical image real-time generation step may be performed when the current position of the arbitration instrument is the guidance display point.
The current position of the interventional instrument may be determined based on the insertion path of the blood vessel insertion path and the insertion length of the interventional instrument.
Periodically generating a second medical image of the patient; Displaying the second medical image periodically generated; And determining the position of the interventional surgical instrument, wherein the second medical image real-time generation step may be performed when the interventional surgical tool is located at a certain distance from the guidance display position.
The first medical image may be an MR image or an X-ray image, and the second medical image may be an X-ray image.
In addition, the calculating step may include a point at which the arbitration instrument is inserted into the blood vessel insertion path.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an interventional procedure reference image providing system, comprising: a photographing unit for generating a first medical image of a patient; A processor for calculating a vein insertion path for inserting the interventional treatment tool into the target area through a blood vessel when the blood vessel is detected from the first medical image to generate a blood vessel map of the patient and a target area is designated in the body of the patient, ; And a display for displaying the blood vessel map and the blood vessel insertion path.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
1 is a block diagram of a medical imaging system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The medical image system according to the embodiment of the present invention provides a reference image necessary for intervention.
A reference image displays not only the path for moving the interventional tool (catheter, needle, guide wire, etc.) to the target area in the patient's body but also a guide display for the blood vessel branch point, complex point and target area.
Further, the medical imaging system according to the embodiment of the present invention provides a real-time image in the patient body together with the real-time image for capturing the current position of the interventional treatment tool.
Real-time images are provided as X-ray images and are provided only in the required section to minimize radiation exposure to patients and medical personnel.

Next, the
In step S240, the medical staff can grasp the blood vessel structure / condition of the patient at a glance, and the target area of the intervention procedure can be designated through the
If the target area is designated by the medical staff (S250-Y), the
In step S260, the blood vessel information calculated in step S220 is referred to, and the most important factor is the inner diameter of the blood vessel. That is, the blood vessel insertion path allows the inner diameter of the blood vessel to consist of as large a blood vessels as possible.
The next important factor is the complexity of the vessel. The complexity of the blood vessel is related to the curvature and direction of the blood vessel. That is, it is preferable to construct the blood vessel insertion pathway with a small curvature and a small direction change.
The blood vessel insertion path in step S260 includes the insertion start point at which the insertion tool is inserted. In other words, at the time of calculating the insertion route of the blood vessel, it is calculated up to the insertion start point in addition to the insertion route of the blood vessel. Only the target area is what the healthcare provider specifies.
Because the patient's vascular status is different, the blood vessel insertion path (including the insertion start point) may be different even if the target area is the same. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, even if the target region is different from the cardiovascular region in the case where the patient is different, the insertion start point and the vein insertion path may be completely different.
Thereafter, the
On the other hand, the
Up to now, the procedure of providing an interventional reference image has been described in detail with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. Hereinafter, a process of providing a real-time image necessary for confirming the current position of the interventional instrument in the interventional procedure will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
4 is a view for explaining a process of providing a real-time image for intervention. The interventional real-time image is divided into a manual mode and an automatic mode. FIG. 4 shows a process of providing a real-time image in a passive mode.
In the case of the manual mode (S310-Y), when the medical staff inputs a real-time image start command through the
Then, the
Alternatively, the blood vessel map may disappear on the
Then, when the medical staff inputs a real-time video end command through the touch screen 130 (S350-Y), the
5 is a view for explaining a process of providing an intervention-based real-time image in the automatic mode.
As shown in FIG. 5, in the case of the automatic mode (S410-Y), the
Since the insertion route of the interventional device is determined, when the insertion length of the interventional device is determined, the current position of the interventional device can be known.
If it is determined that the current position of the interventionist tool is adjacent to the blood vessel branch point, the complex point, and the target area (S430-Y), the
The acquisition and display of the X-ray image by steps S440 and S450 continues until the current position of the interventional surgical instrument is moved away from the blood vessel branching point (S440).
Up to now, a system and method for providing a reference image and a real-time image for an interventional procedure have been described in detail with preferred embodiments.
In the above embodiment, it is assumed that the reference image is generated based on the MR image, but it is merely an example for convenience of explanation. It is also possible to generate a reference image from the X-ray image. In this case, the MR
In addition, when the real-time image is provided in the automatic mode, the X-ray image is intermittently / periodically provided, and when the current position of the interventional tool is adjacent to the blood vessel branch point, .
In this case, it is possible to extract the interventional tool from the intermittently / periodically obtained X-ray image, thereby grasping the current position of the interventional tool.
While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
