Company patents

CathWorks Ltd.

CathWorks Ltd. exhibits a highly focused patent strategy, with a surprising 80.9% of its portfolio in Image Processing and 74.5% in Medical Diagnostics & Surgery, both experiencing a remarkable 200.0% growth in 2025, indicating a strong commitment to integrating advanced imaging with medical procedures. While patenting activity in most categories, including the rapidly growing Healthcare Informatics (300.0% growth in 2025), shows a decline so far in 2026, this is likely due to the partial year's data rather than a shift in priority, contrasting with the clear decline in Drug Delivery Devices, which saw a 100.0% drop in 2024 and again so far in 2026.

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ANGIOGRAPHIC IMAGE SELECTION

Filed:2024-08-29Pub:2025-04-24
Applicant:CathWorks Ltd.

The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for selecting (i) an imaging angle with minimized foreshortening and/or overlap of a target region from one of a plurality of an existing angiographic images and/or (ii) selecting an imaging angle for new images so that foreshortening and/or overlap are minimized. In some embodiments, a viewing angle cost function is determined that defines one or more optimal viewing angles at least with respect to minimizing foreshortening of the target region. Using the cost function, an image may be selected from among the plurality of images, which potentially does not match the optimal imaging angle due to the optimal imaging angle having a high cost as a result of overlapping vascular features. The selected image may have an imaging angle that corresponds to a lower cost due to less overlap compared to the optimal imaging angle.

A method and apparatus for selecting (i) an imaging angle with minimized foreshortening and/or overlap of a target region from an existing angiographic image and/or (ii) selecting an imaging angle for new images so that foreshortening and/or overlap are minimized. A viewing angle cost function is determined that defines optimal viewing angles at least with respect to minimizing foreshortening of the target region. Using the cost function, an image may be selected from among a set of images, which potentially does not match the optimal imaging angle due to the optimal imaging angle having a high cost as a result of overlapping vascular features. The selected image may have an imaging angle that corresponds to a lower cost due to less overlap compared to the optimal imaging angle.
