INTEGRATED PHYSIOLOGY AND IMAGING WORKSTATION
First Claim
1. A physiology network, comprising:
- physiology lead inputs configured to receive leads to be attached to a subject located in a procedure room;
an imaging device, located in the procedure room for obtaining real-time images of a region of interest of the subject during a physiology procedure;
a database storing previously acquired pre-case images of the region of interest,a physiology processing unit communicating with the physiology leads and imaging device, the physiology processing unit receiving and processing physiology signals from the physiology leads; and
a display unit displaying the physiology signals and co-displaying the pre-case images and the real-time images.

Abstract
A physiology workstation includes a communications interface conveying physiology signals and ultrasound data representative of a region of interest. The ultrasound data is obtained by an ultrasound device in real-time during a procedure. Also included is a physiology processing unit, an ultrasound processing unit, and a display unit displaying the physiology signals and the ultrasound images, the physiology signals and ultrasound signals being presented jointly to a user in real-time during the procedure being carried out on the subject. The display unit includes at least one monitor co-displaying the physiology signals and ultrasound images in adjacent windows on a single display. The physiology processing unit, ultrasound processing unit and display unit are located in a control room divided from a procedure room. The communications interface extends between the procedure and control rooms and the physiology processing unit is configured to remotely control the ultrasound system via the communications interface.

12. A method for maintaining a physiology network, comprising:
-
configuring physiology lead inputs to receive leads to be attached to a subject located in a procedure room; obtaining real-time images of a region of interest of the subject during a physiology procedure from an imaging device located in the procedure room; obtaining, from a database, previously acquired pre-case images of the region of interest, receiving and processing physiology signals from the physiology leads at a physiology processing unit communicating with the physiology leads and imaging device; and co-displaying, on a display unit, the physiology signals, the pre-case images and the real-time images. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
