A robot controller (515) includes a first input (502) configured to receive images (524) from an imaging device for a region of interest. A target identification device (516) is configured to identify a target region in the images. A control system (517) is coupled to a robotically controlled treatment device to generate control signals to control the treatment device to treat the target region when the treatment device is positioned corresponding to the target region.

A head-mounted display device interfaces with a blood processing machine. The display device has a frame for mounting on a person's head and configured to hold a lens in front of an eye of a wearer. The display device has a display, a wireless circuit configured to communicate with a network, a camera, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit retrieves instructions for servicing the blood processing machine and overlays indicators, text, highlighting and/or icons on the blood processing machine as seen from a field of view of the wearer based on the instructions. The wearer is thereby assisted in servicing the blood processing machine.

A method (300) for obtaining one or more oral images (90) using an imaging device or system (100, 200) includes: (i) obtaining (320), using an imager, an oral image; (ii) extracting (330), by a controller, one or more features from the oral image, wherein the extracted one or more features comprises at least an image quality feature and an object recognition feature; (iii) determining (340), by a decision module of the controller, whether the one or more extracted features satisfy a predetermined feature threshold; (iv) providing (350) feedback to a user regarding the obtained oral image if the one or more extracted features does not satisfy the predetermined feature threshold, or authorizing (370) transmission of the oral image to a dental professional if the one or more extracted features satisfy the predetermined feature threshold; and (v) transmitting (380), if transmission is authorized, the obtained oral image to a dental professional.

According to one aspect, an endoscope system may include a shaft having a proximal end and a distal portion configured for insertion into a subject. The distal portion may have a distal end. The shaft may also include a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The lumen may be configured to receive an instrument extendable through the lumen of the shaft. The endoscope system may also include a visualization system coupled to the shaft for visualizing a region distal to the distal end of the shaft. The endoscope system may also include a handle coupled to the proximal end of the shaft. The handle may be configured for gripping by a user. The handle may include a shaft control system for controlling operation of the shaft. The handle may also include an instrument control system for controlling operation of an instrument extendable through the shaft.

A robot controller (515) includes a first input (502) configured to receive images (524) from an imaging device for a region of interest. A target identification device (516) is configured to identify a target region in the images. A control system (517) is coupled to a robotically controlled treatment device to generate control signals to control the treatment device to treat the target region when the treatment device is positioned corresponding to the target region. A treatment system comprising an aspiration device, a robot system and a control system, as well as a method for treatment of tissue are also disclosed.

A medical diagnostic instrument can include a housing with a mounting interface configured to support a plurality of imaging devices, each of the plurality of imaging devices configured to capture image data of a different anatomical region of a patient. The instrument can include an electronic processing circuitry, which can include a memory and a processor. The processor can be configured to, responsive to an attachment of an imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices to the mounting interface, retrieve from the memory and execute at least one machine learning model from a plurality of machine learning models configured to identify, based on image data, one or more diseases of the patient. The at least one machine learning model can be configured to identify one or more diseases of an anatomical region of the patient an image data of which the imaging device is configured to capture.

An endoscope has an insertion part to be inserted into a living body and an operating part. An endoscope apparatus is connected to the endoscope. The control unit displays an image associated with an operation capable of being executed by the endoscope apparatus on a part of a display screen of a display device. A visual line position detection unit detects a visual line position of an operator of the endoscope. The control unit determines whether or not the operator gazes at the image based on the visual line position detected by the visual line position detection unit. Moreover, the control unit executes the operation associated with the image based on a result of the determination and a command signal input in response to a manipulation by the operator with respect to the operating part.

A method of determining hysteresis according to an example embodiment may include capturing a real-time image of the surgical robot driven according to a drive input, and measuring a drive angle of the surgical robot by comparing the real-time image to a previously rendered image data set of the surgical robot, and calculating a difference between the drive input and the measured drive angle.

Fluorescence videostroboscopy imaging is described. A system includes an emitter for emitting pulses of electromagnetic radiation and an image sensor comprising a pixel array for sensing reflected electromagnetic radiation. The system includes a controller configured to cause the emitter to emit the pulses of electromagnetic radiation at a strobing frequency determined based on a vibration frequency of vocal cords of a user. The system is such that at least a portion of the pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the emitter comprises electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength from about 770 nm to about 790 nm.

In one example, a controller configured for use with a medical device, may include a body configured to removably couple to the medical device. The body may include a gear configured to mate with a first actuator of the medical device; and a second actuator, and the actuation of the second actuator may be configured to initiate movement of the gear and the first actuator.
