Patent ID: 7729745

Claim:
A medical treatment unit for performing a rotablation procedure in a patient, comprising: a medical image device which generates an image data of the patient; a catheter device integrated with the medical image device comprising: a rotablation catheter, an OCT sensor arranged in the rotablation catheter, an IVUS sensor arranged in the rotablation catheter, a position sensor interoperated with the OCT sensor and the IVUS sensor; and an image processing unit connected with the OCT sensor, the IVUS sensor, the position sensor, and the medical image device via a data bus, the image processing unit creating a combined image based on the image data from the medical image device and data from the sensors using a section of an image from the OCT sensor to represent a local area and a complementary part of an image from the IVUS sensor to represent a deeper area, producing a combined OCT/IVUS image that is registered computationally with the image data from the medical image device by the image processing unit in a common 3D coordinate system.
