The present invention proposes a sensory perception system for robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. The invention comprises an electrosurgical forceps coupled to a surgical tool, an electrocautery radiofrequency signal generator and an impedance measurement circuit. The latter includes a measurement sensor for measuring a signal indicative of a magnitude corresponding to the value of contact impedance between the forceps and a patient's tissue; an oscillator; a first electrical circuit with resistors and a voltage limiter for protecting the measurement sensor and the oscillator; and a second electronic circuit with switches. The sensor and the oscillator are connected to the forceps by means of a power cable of the surgical tool. A processor connected to the measurement circuit receives said measured signal and converts same into a force vector, the modulus of which is a function of the contact impedance being measured and the argument is a function of the trajectory being followed.

Medical software tools platform utilizes a surgical display to provide access to specific medical software tools, such as medically-oriented applications or widgets, that can assist those in the operating room, such as a surgeon or surgical team, with a surgery. For various embodiments, the medical software tools platform and its associated medical software tools are presented on a surgical display (e.g., being utilized in an operating room) over an image stream provided by a surgical camera (e.g., in use in the operating room or with other endoscopic procedures). Various medical software tools can provide features and functions that can facilitate integration of equipment in an operating room or add medical context awareness to anatomic structures presented in the image stream from the surgical camera and provide archived information pertaining to the same.

Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for end effector identification in robotic surgical systems. A surgical robot can be coupled to an end effector. The system can identify the end effector using data received from the end effector. The system can adjust operation of the surgical system, including the robot arm, based on the data received from the end effector. Data received from or regarding the end effector can include detected characteristics, retrieved characteristics, or data stored on the end effector and communicated to the system. Both the identification and the operation adjustments can be performed automatically such that the system experiences little to no lag or downtime when coupling with different end effectors.

Mediated-reality imaging systems, methods, and devices are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an imaging system includes a camera array configured to (i) capture intraoperative image data of a surgical scene in substantially real-time and (ii) track a tool through the scene. The imaging system is further configured to receive and/or store preoperative image data, such as medical scan data corresponding to a portion of a patient in the scene. The imaging device can register the preoperative image data to the intraoperative image data, and display the preoperative image data and a representation of the tool on a user interface, such as a head-mounted display.

Embodiments include a system for determining cardiovascular information for a patient. The system may include at least one computer system configured to receive patient-specific data regarding a geometry of the patient's heart, and create a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the patient's heart based on the patient-specific data. The at least one computer system may be further configured to create a physics-based model relating to a blood flow characteristic of the patient's heart and determine a fractional flow reserve within the patient's heart based on the three-dimensional model and the physics-based model.

A method of generating a correction plan for correcting a deformed bone includes inputting to a computer system a first image of the deformed bone in a first plane and inputting to the computer system a second image of the deformed bone in a second plane. Image processing techniques are employed to identify a plurality of anatomical landmarks of the deformed bone in the first image. The first image of the deformed bone is displayed on a display device. A graphical of the deformed bone is autonomously generated and graphically overlaid on the first image of the deformed bone on the display device, the graphical template including a plurality of lines, each line connected at each end to a landmark point corresponding to one of the anatomical landmarks. A model of the deformed bone may be autonomously generated based on the graphical template.

Medical software tools platforms utilize a surgical display to provide access to specific medical software tools, such as medically-oriented applications or widgets, that can assist surgeons or surgical team in performing various procedures. In particular, an endoscopic camera may register the momentary rise in the optical signature reflected from a tissue surface and in turn transmit it to a medical image processing system which can also receive patient heart rate data and display relevant anomalies. Changes in various spectral components and the speed at which they change in relation to a source of stimulus (heartbeat, breathing, light source modulation, etc.) may indicate the arrival of blood, contrast agents or oxygen absorption. Combinations of these may indicate various states of differing disease or margins of tumors, and so forth. Also, changes in temperatures, physical dimensions, pressures, photoacoustic pressures and the rate of change may indicate tissue anomalies in comparison to historic values.
