Assignee: PHILIPS IMAGE GUIDED THERAPY CORPORATION
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 22:
23. An intravascular imaging system, comprising:
an intravascular device comprising a medical sensor configured to be powered to obtain an intravascular imaging signal while the intravascular device is positioned within a blood vessel of a patient;
a wireless router;
a computing device in wireless communication with the wireless router;
a patient interface module (PIM);
a first cable coupled to the wireless router and the PIM, wherein the first cable comprises a network cable; and
a second cable coupled to the PIM and the intravascular device,
wherein the PIM comprises:
a single housing such that only the first cable, the single housing, and the second cable are communicatively positioned between the wireless router and the intravascular device;
a power-over-network component disposed within the single housing and different than the network cable, wherein the power-over-network component is configured to:
receive operating power from the wireless router at the PIM via the network cable;
provide at least a portion of the operating power from the PIM to the intravascular device via the second cable such that the medical sensor is powered to obtain the intravascular imaging signal; and

at least one of a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or a processor disposed within the single housing and configured to:
receive the intravascular imaging signal; and
determine intravascular image data based on at least the intravascular imaging signal,

wherein the power-over-network component is further configured to:
transmit the intravascular image data to the computing device via the network cable and the wireless router such that data communication for the intravascular image data is provided via the network cable.
