Abstract

A system (10) is provided for collecting data elements relating to events in an interventional procedure. The system (10) comprises an input (11), a clock (12), a storage (13) and a display (14). The input (11), during the interventional procedure, receives the data elements from at least two systems (16) used in the interventional procedure. The clock (12) registers a time of receipt of the data elements. The storage means (13) store items relating to respective events, each item comprising the corresponding data element and the corresponding time of receipt. The display (14) displays representations of the items sequentially along a timeline (30) in accordance with the respective times of receipt.

Claims

1. A system (10) for collecting data elements relating to events in an interventional procedure, the system (10) comprising:

an input (11) for, during the interventional procedure, receiving the data elements from at least two systems (16) used in the interventional procedure,

a clock (12) for registering a time of receipt of the data elements,

storage (13) for storing items relating to respective events, each item comprising the corresponding data element and the corresponding time of receipt, and

display (14) for displaying representations of the items sequentially along a timeline (30) in accordance with the respective times of receipt.

2. A system (10) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the representation of the item is an icon corresponding to an event type of the related event.

3. A system (10) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the input (11) is further operative to receive a manually provided data element relating to an event in the interventional procedure.

4. A system (10) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the display (14) is further arranged for displaying the data elements relating to the respective event when the representation of the corresponding item is selected.

5. A system (10) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the system (10) comprises an output for, when the representation of the item is selected, sending the data elements relating to the corresponding event to another system for enabling display of the data elements by the other system.

6. A system (10) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the display (14) is further arranged for displaying the representations in an ordered manner, such that the items corresponding to the same event type are grouped.

7. A method for collecting data elements (85) relating to events in an interventional procedure, the method comprising the steps of:

during the interventional procedure, receiving (81) the data elements (85) from at least two systems used in the interventional procedure,

registering (82) a time of receipt (86) of the data elements (85),

storing (83) items relating to respective events, each item comprising the corresponding data element (85) and the corresponding time of receipt (86), and

displaying (84) representations of the items sequentially along a timeline (87) in accordance with the respective times of receipt (86).

8. A computer program product which program is operative to cause a processor (15) to perform the method as claimed in claim 7.
