TARGET SITE SELECTION, ENTRY AND UPDATE WITH AUTOMATIC REMOTE IMAGE ANNOTATION

摘要

Fluoroscopic imaging of a patient's heart is performed by positioning a patient in a sterile field and imaging the heart using a x-ray fluoroscopy system within the sterile to produce a two-dimensional image. The two-dimensional image is simultaneously displayed on an operative display within or adjacent the sterile filed and on a display of a remote image processor outside the operative field. The two-dimensional image of the remote display is manually marked or annotated to show anatomical or treatment information which is simultaneously shown on the operative display.
