An ablation procedure guidance method is provided herein. The ablation procedure guidance method is implemented by a generation engine executing on a processor. The ablation procedure guidance method includes receiving inputs including images and conduction velocity vector estimations and generating a digital twin of an anatomical structure utilizing the images and the conduction velocity vector estimations. The ablation procedure guidance method also includes presenting, via a user interface of the generation engine, the digital twin to provide precision ablation guidance of the anatomical structure and provide electrophysiology information of the anatomical structure.

Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining a treatment plan, encompassing acquiring patient image data, acquiring target data describing targets, acquiring position data describing control points which define one or more arcs, and determining target projection data which describes outlines of the target in a beam's-eye view. Margin data is acquired. For the outlines, margins are applied to determine auxiliary outlines. Beam shaping device data is determined describing configurations of the collimator leaves so that irradiation of the auxiliary outlines is enabled. Based on these configurations, the irradiation amount is simulated for voxels of the patient image data. Constraints to be fulfilled by the treatment plan may be set. Configurations of blockings, arc-weights and margins are proposed. Only different combinations of these parameters are proposed while additional possible parameters are neglected. An optimization algorithm is used to minimize an objective function. The best configuration is selected as the treatment plan.

A number of improvements are provided relating to computer aided surgery. The improvement relates to both the methods used during computer aided surgery and the devices used during such procedures. Some of the improvement relate to controlling the selection of which data to display during a procedure and/or how the data is displayed to aid the surgeon. Other improvements relate to the structure of the tools used during a procedure and how the tools can be controlled automatically to improve the efficiency of the procedure. Still other improvements relate to methods of providing feedback during a procedure to improve either the efficiency or quality, or both, for a procedure.

A method for implantation of non-spherical, asymmetric implants is provided that includes devising a pre-surgical plan with pre-operative planning software operating on a computer to define at least one of shape, orientation, type, size, geometry, or placement of the non-spherical, asymmetric implant in an operative bone of a subject. A computer assisted surgical device is used to place the non-spherical, asymmetric implant. The implant is positioned within the bone by the computer assisted surgical device in accordance with pre-surgical plan. A non-spherical, asymmetric implant for insertion in a bone formed of separate stem, neck, and head portions and suitable for implantation by the method is also disclosed.

Systems and methods are provided for determining the placement of energy-delivery nodes of an energy-based therapeutic device. In one aspect, recommended placement locations are customized by analyzing an image or video of the user and may be superimposed on an image corresponding to an affected body part.

An electronic computer system classifies an anatomical target by obtaining a series of input images of the target; detecting a difference in a characteristic of the anatomical target across the series of input images; comparing, using a pattern recognition process, the difference in the characteristic across the series of input images to respective differences in characteristics across respective series of reference images; and classifying the anatomical target based on similarities with reference images analyzed during the comparing.

An electronic computer system creates a treatment plan and provides safe and accurate treatment recommendations by obtaining an input image of a face; comparing, using a pattern recognition process, one or more aspects of the input image to corresponding aspects of a plurality of reference images; obtaining, based on a result of the comparing, supplemental information associated with one or more additional characteristics of the face; and creating a treatment plan based on the input image and the additional characteristic.

Robotic system and methods for robotic arthroplasty are provided. The robotic system includes a machining system and a guidance system. The guidance station tracks movement of one or more of various objects in the operating room, such as a surgical tool, a tibia of a patient, a talus of the patient, or a component of an implant. The guidance system tracks these objects for purposes of displaying their relative positions and orientations to the surgeon and, in some cases, for purposes of controlling movement of the surgical tool of the machining system relative to virtual cutting boundaries or other virtual objects associated with the tibia and talus to facilitate preparation of bone to receive an ankle implant system.

A method and system to treat headaches in a patient by performing surgery via at least one nostril. Data from a computer tomography scan of at least one nasal cavity and one sinus cavity of the patient and a completed headache questionnaire are matched to at least one nasal/sinus surgery plan to operate on at least one of; a nasal septum, at least one sinus cavity and at least one turbinate of the patient. The surgery plan is executed by installing a topical local anesthetic and decongestant onto the at least one turbinate forming an anesthetized decongested nasal cavity; infusing an anesthetic into the anesthetized decongested nasal cavity of the patient; dilating the at least one sinus ostium; incising at least one of: a first mucosal flap or a second mucosal Hap of the nasal septum of the anesthetized decongested nasal cavity to expose deviated septal cartilage and bone; removing deviated cartilage and/or bone of the nasal septum; fracturing the at least one turbinate laterally away from the nasal septum; inspecting between the first mucosal flap and the second mucosal flap for a residual broken hone, a residual segment of cartilage or combinations thereof, surgically closing the first mucosal flap and the second mucosal flap of the nasal septum; and suctioning unwanted matter from the anesthetized decongested nasal cavity. An interactive system guides the surgery and provides a record thereof.
