    UroNav is a stereotaxic accessory for image-guided interventional and diagnostic procedures of the prostate gland. It provides 2D and 3D visualization of Ultrasound (U/S) images and register these images with those from other imaging modalities such as Magnetic Resonance (MR). It also provides the ability to display a simulated image of a tracked insertion tool such as a biopsy needle, guidewire, grid plate or probe on a computer monitor screen that shows images of the target organ and the current and the projected future path of the interventional instrument taking into account patient movement. Other software features include patient data management, multiplanar reconstruction. segmentation, image measurements and 2D/3D image registration. UroNav is intended for treatment planning and guidance for clinical, interventional and/or diagnostic procedures. The device is intended to be used in interventional and diagnostic procedures in a clinical setting. Example procedures include, but are not limited to image fusion for diagnostic clinical examinations and procedures, soft tissue ablations and placement of fiducial markers.
    Device Description
    UroNav System is a medical image processing system that provides image-guided intervention and diagnostic information, which guides interventional instrumentation to targets that have been defined by the physician. The target can be indicated either pre-procedurally or intraprocedurally using images or relative to an indicated position on the patient. As a diagnostic system, it combines pre-procedural and intraprocedural imaging to assist in locating areas of interest detected on one set of images on the other. The system provides fusion between Ultrasound (US) and different imaging modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR). When used as a navigation aid, it also transforms two and three-dimensional patient images (scan sets) into dynamic representations on which a medical instrument can be navigated. The system performs spatial mapping from one image space to another image space or from image space to physical space ("registration") allowing the physician to correlate scan sets with each other and to the patient. The system facilitates minimally invasive interventional procedures. Images used by UroNav can include archived image data from a CD, PACS, etc., and live images from an ultrasound system. The UroNav system consists of an Electromagnetic Measurement System (EMMS) (including a Field Generator, System Control Unit and System Interface Unit(s)), a System Unit (including a CPU/monitor, medical-grade power supply and mobile cart), Field Generator stand, UroNav software and various instrumentation devices. The UroNav System Unit and the UroNav software utilize the keyboard, mouse and visual display to interact with the image data from a connected Ultrasound System. This interaction includes the selection of targets and associated navigation on the UroNav monitor. Targeted use areas for UroNav include hospital operating rooms, outpatient surgery centers, ultrasound suites, and procedure rooms. The UroNav System is designed to display the 2D live video received from commercially available ultrasound machines and use this 2D video to reconstruct a 3D ultrasound image. The system has been designed to work with the clinicians' existing ultrasound machine, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) probe, commercially available needle guides and needle gun combinations. Additional software features include patient data management, multi-planar reconstruction, segmentation, image measurement and 3D image registration. UroNav utilizes an electromagnetic measurement system (EMMS) for identifying and tracking the location of the TRUS probe (and associated needle guides, instruments, etc.) relative to the 2D and 3D images. The EMMS Field Generator is positioned near the patient and provides an electromagnetic (EM) field for detection by a proprietary electromagnetic (EM) Sensor, which is attached to the ultrasound probe and tracks probe position while the physician performs a normal ultrasound imaging procedure of the subject prostate. The Field Generator and EM Sensor are connected to the UroNav System Control Unit and the PC running the UroNav software. Control of the ultrasound probe and ultrasound system is done manually by the physician, just as it would be in the absence of UroNav System. However, by tracking the position and orientation of the ultrasound probe while capturing the video image, UroNav System is able to reconstruct and display a 3D image and 3D rendered surface model of the prostate. The reconstructed 3D image can be further processed to perform various measurements including volume estimation and can be examined for abnormalities by the physician. Patient information, notes and images may be stored for future retrieval. Locations for biopsies, needles, markers, and other devices may be selected by the physician, displayed in the 3D image and 3D rendered surface model, and stored. Previously created 3D models may be recalled and may be aligned or registered to the current live display of the prostate. The 3D model used for co-registration may be based on another series of ultrasound images or DICOM images. The physician may also attach a commercially available biopsy needle guide to the TRUS probe and use the probe and biopsy needle to perform tissue biopsy. Whenever the ultrasound machine is turned on by the physician, the live 2D ultrasound image is displayed on the UroNav display during the biopsy. As the TRUS probe with attached needle guide is maneuvered by the physician, the position and orientation of the probe is tracked. UroNav System is able to add, display and edit plans for target locations (e.g., biopsy sites) as well as an estimate of the probe position and needle trajectory relative to the 3D image and 3D rendered surface model of the prostate and the planned target locations. UroNav System offers the physician additional 3D information for assessing prostate abnormalities, planning and implementing biopsy procedures. The additional image processing features are generated with minimal changes to previous TRUS probe based procedures, and the physician always has access to the live 2D ultrasound image during prostate assessment or biopsy procedure. In addition to standard transrectal procedures, UroNav System also supports transperineal access and commercially available gridplates normally used for performing such procedures. When using transperineal mode, the UroNav EM Sensors are attached to both the TRUS probe and the transperineal gridplate within a mechanical stepper assembly. Procedure planning, segmentation, registration and navigation are performed the same as the standard transrectal procedure except that a computer rendering of the transperineal gridplate is displayed on the UroNav System display. UroNav System provides an indication of the gridplate coordinates that correspond to the identified target location.
