ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for exchanging ultrasound and X-ray video signals are disclosed. The system may select an analog X-ray input signal from, for example, either a fluoroscopic or roadmap video signal according to user input. The analog X-ray input signal is digitized and converted using the appropriate video conversion factors to a standard high-resolution format suitable for display on, for example, an intravascular ultrasound monitor. The digitized X-ray signal is electrically isolated from the graphics cards operating the intravascular ultrasound display. The system also digitizes high-resolution ultrasound video and converts it to a format suitable for display on a hospital X-ray monitor. The converted and digitized ultrasound video is electrically isolated from the hospital X-ray monitors.
