More Information
Summary:A medical device-placing system is disclosed including, in some embodiments, a medical-device tip-location sensor ("TLS") configured for placement on a chest of a patient, an ultrasound probe, a console, and an alternative-reality headset. The ultrasound probe is configured to emit ultrasound signals into the patient and receive echoed ultrasound signals from the patient. The console is configured to transform the echoed ultrasound signals to produce ultrasound-image segments corresponding to anatomical structures of the patient, as well as transform TLS signals from the TLS into location information for a medical device within the patient. The alternative-reality headset includes a display screen through which a wearer of the alternative-reality headset can see the patient. The display screen is configured to display over the patient a virtual medical per the location information for the medical device within objects of virtual anatomy corresponding to the ultrasound-image segments.
