Patent Images
1. A method for planning left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion for a patient, the method comprising:
- obtaining acquisition data from a medical imaging system;
generating a 3D model of the left atrium of the patient;
identifying one or more left atrial anatomical landmarks on said 3D model;
registering saved views of said 3D model on an interventional system; and
visualizing one or more of said registered saved views with said interventional system.

Abstract
A method for planning left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion for a patient includes obtaining acquisition data from a medical imaging system, and generating a 3D model of the left atrium of the patient. One or more left atrial anatomical landmarks are identified on the 3D model, and saved views of the 3D model are registered on an interventional system. One or more of the registered saved views are visualized with the interventional system.

8. A method for planning left atrial appendage (LM) occlusion for a patient, the method comprising:
-
obtaining acquisition data from a medical imaging system using a protocol directed toward the left atrium;
segmenting said acquisition data using a 3D protocol so as to visualize the left atrium, including the LAA;
generating a 3D model of the left atrium of the patient;
identifying one or more left atrial anatomical landmarks on said 3D model;
registering saved views of said 3D model on an interventional system;
visualizing one or more of said registered saved views with said interventional system; and
identifying, from said 3D model, the orientation and size of the LAA, as well as any anomalies associated therewith. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

-
obtaining acquisition data from a cardiac computed tomography (CT) imaging system using a protocol directed toward the left atrium;
segmenting said acquisition data using a 3D protocol so as to visualize the left atrium, including the LAA;
generating a 3D model of the left atrium of the patient;
identifying one or more left atrial anatomical landmarks on said 3D model;
registering saved views of said 3D model on a fluoroscopy system; and
visualizing one or more of said registered saved views with said fluoroscopy system; and
identifying, from said 3D model, the orientation and size of the LAA, as well as any anomalies associated therewith. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
