Technology - System and Methods for Virtual Pancreatoscopy

System and Methods for Virtual Pancreatoscopy

A virtual super-resolution pancreatoscopy method that can visualize the fine-scale structures.

Background:

Virtual endoscopy has been observed and claimed in many previous patents for several different organs. Among these organs is the colon, and the radiological imaging of virtual pancreatoscopy.

Technology Overview:

Pancreatoscopy is the endoscopic examination of the pancreatic ducts. In previous approaches, many patent methods showcase the general direction and colon fly through. The proposed technology is the ability to analyze fine-scale structures. The super-resolution technique extends imaging resolution. Rendering enables the interior surfaces within the pancreatic duct, allowing for viewing of geometrical structures of the duct.
