System and Method for Image Guidance During Medical Procedures

摘要

A surgical guidance system is disclosed that allows for real-time imaging and patient monitoring during a surgical procedure. The system can include an MRI system for generating real-time images of the patient while surgery is being performed. Prior to surgery, a surgical plan can be created using a planning interface. A control unit receives the real-time image data and the surgical plan, and monitors the image data based on parameters included in the surgical plan. The control-unit monitoring occurs in real-time while the surgical procedure is being performed. The control unit can detect deviations from the surgical plan and/or high-risk patient conditions and instruct an alert unit to issue an alert based on the detected conditions.

1. A surgical guidance system, comprising:
a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system configured for generating MRI data representative of a portion of a patient; a planning interface for generating a surgical plan based at least in part on pre-surgical images and input information regarding surgical parameters for a surgical procedure; a control unit for receiving image data based on the MRI data acquired during the surgical procedure and for monitoring the image data for conditions included in the surgical parameters of the surgical plan; and an alert unit for issuing an alert based on instructions from the control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to instruct the alert unit to issue the alert based on detecting at least one of the conditions included in the surgical parameters of the surgical plan.
