Background

Virtual endoscopy has been observed and claimed in many previous patents for several different organs. Among these organs is the colon, and the radiological imaging of virtual pancreatoscopy.

Technology

Pancreatoscopy is the endoscopic examination of the pancreatic ducts. In previous approaches, many patent methods showcase the general direction and colon fly through. The proposed technology is the ability to analyze fine-scale structures. The super-resolution technique extends imaging resolution. Rendering enables the interior surfaces within the pancreatic duct, allowing for viewing of geometrical structures of the duct.

Advantages

Proposed is a super-resolution technique which is the enabling factor for imaging resolution far beyond that of the clinical scanner. Enabled is the ability to extract fine-scale pancreatic duct geometry and inspect internal structures.
