Summary of the Inventive Concept

The present inventive concept integrates the angiographic examination method with distinct technologies such as AI, IoT, blockchain, and new materials to create a more powerful system for vascular disease diagnosis and treatment.

Background and Problem Solved

The original angiographic examination method has limitations in detecting vascular anomalies and optimizing stent graft placement. The present inventive concept addresses these limitations by incorporating AI-powered image analysis, IoT-enabled patient monitoring, blockchain-based secure data storage, and novel nanomaterial-based X-ray detectors.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The advanced angiographic examination system comprises a C-arm X-ray system, a patient positioning couch, and an AI-powered image analysis module for automatic detection of vascular anomalies and optimization of stent graft placement. The system can be integrated with artificial intelligence for real-time monitoring and prediction of vascular diseases, comprising steps of capturing a volume data set, generating a 2D/3D overlay image, and analyzing the image using machine learning algorithms. Additionally, the system can be combined with a 3D printing module for customized stent graft fabrication and an IoT-enabled patient monitoring platform for real-time tracking of stent graft performance. Furthermore, the system can utilize blockchain technology for secure storage and sharing of angiographic examination data, and incorporate a novel nanomaterial-based X-ray detector for improved image resolution and detection of vascular anomalies.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a synergistic combination of the angiographic examination method with AI, IoT, blockchain, and new materials, which provides a more powerful system for vascular disease diagnosis and treatment. The inventive step lies in the integration of these distinct technologies to create a novel system that overcomes the limitations of the original patent.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept include using different AI algorithms for image analysis, integrating the system with other medical imaging modalities, and utilizing various types of nanomaterials for X-ray detection. Variations of the system can be designed for specific vascular diseases or patient populations.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The advanced angiographic examination system has significant commercial potential in the medical imaging and healthcare industries, particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases. The system can be marketed to hospitals, clinics, and medical research institutions, and can also be used for personalized medicine and precision healthcare.
