THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURE SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A61N5/10 A61N5/01 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to a system, method and computer program for performing a therapeutic procedure. System for performing the therapeutic procedure comprises an elongated insertion element for insertion into the body, wherein the extended insertion element is a catheter, a temperature determining unit for determining temperature along the catheter, an internal part determining unit for determining which part of the catheter is inside the body, based on the determined temperature, thereby providing segmentation of the catheter based on the temperature, unit for performing a therapeutic procedure for performing the therapeutic procedure by using the catheter in such a way that the therapeutic procedure is performed only in a certain internal part of the catheter,at that unit for performing the therapeutic procedure comprises a movement unit configured to move the radiation source into a radiation position for therapeutic treatment of the body in the irradiation position within the catheter, and a brachytherapy control unit for controlling the movement unit, wherein segmentation of catheter based on temperature is used to prevent location of irradiation position outside body. Computer is programmed with computer program to perform therapeutic procedure, wherein the computer program comprises a code means stimulating the system to perform the steps of determining the temperature, determining which part of the inserted element is inside the body, performing a therapeutic procedure.

EFFECT: using the group of inventions enables reducing the likelihood of the undesirable effect of the therapeutic procedure on surrounding people.
