Abstract

An interactive treatment mapping and planning system enables a user to more quickly, thoroughly, and efficiently aggregate fibroid and/or treatment information from a user and/or one or more sets of databases, construct a fibroid map providing a visual representation of the aggregated fibroid information, generate information from the aggregated information about the fibroid to be treated and/or treatment procedure, develop a treatment plan based on the fibroid and/or treatment procedure information, provide real-time information gathered from treatment devices during the treatment procedure, and allow the user to interact with the treatment data.

Claims (46)

1. A system comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store program instructions; and

a processor programmed to execute the program instructions to cause the processor to:

aggregate, from one or more data sources, a plurality of fibroid data records;

extract, from the plurality of fibroid data records, fibroid data record items; and

generate user interface data for rendering an interactive user interface on an electronic display, the interactive user interface including:

a fibroid map displaying several views of a uterus including a first uterus view and a second uterus view, the first uterus view being different than the second uterus view, and

a fibroid icon of a fibroid data record item, the fibroid icon comprising a first marker on the fibroid map at a location associated with the fibroid data record item, the fibroid icon configured to provide information relating to the fibroid data record item,

wherein, when a user places a first marker in one of the first uterus view or the second uterus view, the system automatically populates another one of the first uterus view or the second uterus view with a second marker at the same location.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the location of the first marker comprises a graphical representation of a fibroid location in a uterus of a patient.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fibroid icon is configured to indicate a warning to the user.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to aggregate a plurality of fibroid data records from at least one of:

an input from a user;

a user data source; or

a third party data source.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fibroid data record item comprises at least one of a fibroid location, a fibroid type, a fibroid size, a fibroid treatment status, a number of fibroids, and a fibroid treatment order.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fibroid data record item comprises a fibroid type, and wherein the fibroid type comprises one of intramural, submucosal, subserosal, pedunculated submucosal and pedunculated subserosal.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fibroid data record item comprises a fibroid treatment status.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fibroid data record item comprises a fibroid treatment order.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to receive user input.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the user input comprises at least one of:

user fibroid data record items; or

treatment data record items.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is programmed, in response to the user input, to:

update the one or more data sources with the user fibroid data record items; and

update the user interface data such that the interactive user interface includes an indication of at least one of the user fibroid data record items.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the user input includes export criteria comprising at least one of:

an export content;

an export format; or

an export location.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interactive user interface further comprises a legend.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

identify a fibroid using an information from an imaging modality;

receive fibroid data from the imaging modality; and

generate an exploratory report.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

receive treatment data from a treatment device; and

update the interactive user interface with treatment data.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further programmed to generate a treatment report.

17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed so that, when a user moves the first marker in a vertical direction in one of the first uterus view or the second uterus view, the system automatically moves the second marker.

18. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed so that, when a user moves the first marker in a horizontal direction in one of the first uterus view or the second uterus view, the system does not move the second marker.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the processor is programmed so that, when a user moves the first marker in a vertical direction in one of the first uterus view or the second uterus view, the system automatically moves the second marker.

20. The system of claim 1 , wherein the location of the first marker comprises a graphical representation of a fibroid location in a uterus of a patient,

wherein the fibroid data record item comprises at least one of a fibroid location, a fibroid type, a fibroid size, a fibroid treatment status, a number of fibroids, and a fibroid treatment order,

wherein the fibroid data record item comprises a fibroid treatment status, and

wherein the fibroid data record item comprises a fibroid treatment order.
