Simultaneous Dual Catheter Control System And Method For Controlling An Imaging Catheter To Enable Treatment By Another Catheter
First Claim
1. A method for a computing device to generate repositioning instructions for a first remotely-controlled catheter positioning system to position a first catheter that is co-located with a second catheter within a patient, comprising:
- performing image analysis on imagery generated based on data from the first catheter;
calculating positioning corrections based on the performed image analysis;
generating repositioning instructions based on the calculated positioning corrections; and
transmitting the generated repositioning instructions to the first remotely-controlled catheter positioning system.

Abstract
Systems, devices, methods, and non-transitory processor-readable storage media for a computing device to generate repositioning instructions for a remotely-controlled catheter positioning system to position a first catheter co-located with a second catheter within a patient'"'"'s organ, including performing image analysis on imagery generated based on data from the first catheter, calculating positioning corrections based on the performed image analysis, generating repositioning instructions based on the calculated positioning correction information, and transmitting control signals based on the generated repositioning instructions to the remotely-controlled catheter positioning device. The computing device may also determine whether a representation of the second catheter is within the imagery based on the performed image analysis and whether a representation of a tip of the second catheter is at a desired location within the imagery. In an embodiment, the first catheter may be an ultrasound catheter.
