ULTRASONIC PLANNING AND POINTING OF IMPLANTED MEDICAL DEVICES Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61F2/24 A61B19/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medical ultrasonic diagnostic systems, namely to ultrasonic systems for medical device arrangement and three-dimensional pointing. The ultrasonic system for operation planning with the implanted device comprises a scalable anatomical ultrasonic image source in a body, wherein there can be mounted the implanted device, sizer scalable image source forming a virtual sizer, which specifies a size of the implanted device, a scaling unit configured to provide displaying of the anatomical ultrasonic image and visual sizer in the single scale, display and user's control organ applicable for manipulating a positioning of the virtual sizer on the display in relation to the anatomical structure in the single-scaled anatomical ultrasonic image. The user's control unit is configured to check the virtual sizer adjustment to the anatomical structure in accordance with selections showing overlaying regions between the virtual sizer and anatomical structure. Operation of the ultrasonic system implements a method for sizing the implanted device fitted for the anatomical body structure.

EFFECT: using invention enables sizing implanted device without approaching implantation site.
