Seamless Integration between the Modality and Interventional Applications

Abstract

There are basically two rooms in any hospital performing Interventional X-ray. One is Exam Room and the other is Control Room. In the Exam Room, the doctors perform Interventional treatment by using minimally invasive Interventional instruments. The patient's body is infused with iodine contain uid which is opaque to bones and thus all the arteries containing blood vessels are visible in X-ray software. The Doctors sees the screen and insert the catheters to the appropriate place. In the Exam room, since doctors perform the surgery, he/she cannot adjust the system and thus the X-ray system is being adjusted outside in the control room. As per the doctor saying the X-ray system is being controlled like to zoom-in or zoom-out, to rotate to certain angle etc. So the market demanded that there should be touch screen model inside the exam room which will stream the images from control room to exam room model and the doctor can make the adjustments on its own in the exam room only. so the objective of this project is to stream the x-ray images from control room to the exam room. There should not be visible delay in the streaming of images from control room to exam room, otherwise it could endanger the live of patient. By streaming images, we can reduce the cost of wiring which is used in present scenario to show the images in the exam room. Since the delaying of images is not tolerant, so high fibre which will send the images fast, is used which is cost effective. Hence with this project doctor can make adjustments required in order to perform Interventional x-ray and hence there will be no need of constant present of person in the control room and by streaming images, the wiring cost will also be reduced.
