Digital-based medical devices
A skin measuring microscope includes a housing, an electronic imager disposed along an imaging axis, and an illumination system. The illumination system includes a plurality of LEDs disposed in a ring-like configuration adjacent a distal end of the housing.
X-WING ENHANCED GUIDANCE SYSTEM FOR DISTAL TARGETING
A surgical instrument assembly configured to display a representation of the surgical instrument relative to a trajectory (e.g., a desired trajectory for drilling into an implant) based image data from an image sensor (e.g., a camera). For example, the surgical instrument assembly may be configured to determine a desired trajectory (e.g., a central axis of a distal hole of an intramedullary nail) based on X-ray image data representing at least one fiducial marker (e.g., an array of ArUco markers) and representing an anatomical structure and/or an implant. The surgical instrument assembly may in real time display a representation of the orientation and/or position of the surgical instrument (e.g., the orientation and position of a drill bit of the surgical instrument) in relation to the desired trajectory based on image sensor data that is generated based on an orientation of the at least one fiducial marker detected by an image sensor.
SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING AND LOCATING A REGION OF INTEREST
Systems, devices, and methods for identifying a region of interest are provided. A plurality of skeletal landmarks may be identified from an image received from an imaging device. A pose of a patient may be determined based on the plurality of skeletal landmarks. A region of interest may be identified on the patient based on the determined pose. Instructions may be automatically provided to the controller to adjust a pose of a surgical instrument relative to the region of interest. The plurality of skeletal landmarks may be tracked for movement. The region of interest may be updated when movement of the plurality of skeletal landmarks is detected.
REAL TIME IMAGE GUIDED PORTABLE ROBOTIC INTERVENTION SYSTEM
An image-guided robotic intervention system (“IGRIS”) may be used to perform medical procedures on patients. IGRIS provides a real-time view of patient anatomy, as well as an intended target or targets for the procedures, software that allows a user to plan an approach or trajectory path using either the image or the robotic device, software that allows a user to convert a series of 2D images into a 3D volume, and localizes the 3D volume with respect to real-time images during the procedure. IGRIS may include sensors to estimate pose of the imaging device relative to the patient to improve the performance of that software with respect to runtime, robustness, and accuracy.
EASY TO MANUFACTURE AUTOCLAVABLE LED FOR OPTICAL TRACKING
An optical tracking system is provided. The optical tracking system comprises an autoclavable fiducial marker assembly including an opaque housing, a light source, a window panel configured to refract light rays from the light source therethrough, and a metallized coating forming a hermetic seal at an interface of the window panel and the opaque housing. The fiducial marker assembly is configured to shield a peripheral edge of the window panel from the light rays. The system further comprises a tracking device comprising at least two optical sensors configured to detect a position of a light ray emitted by the light source. The system further comprises a processor configured to receive the position of the light rays from the optical sensors, shift the position of each light ray based on a calculated refraction deviation, and triangulate the location of the light source based on the shifted position of each light ray.
Alignment precision
Alignment precision technology, in which a system accesses image data of a bone to which a reference marker array is fixed. The system generates a three-dimensional representation of the bone and the reference markers, defines a coordinate system for the three-dimensional representation, and determines locations of the reference markers relative to the coordinate system. The system accesses intra-operative image data that includes the bone and a mobile marker array that is attached to an instrument used in a surgical procedure. The system co-registers the intra-operative image data with the three-dimensional representation by matching the reference markers included in the intra-operative image data to the locations of the reference markers. The system determines locations of the mobile markers in the co-registered image and determines a three-dimensional spatial position and orientation of the instrument relative to the bone.
Vision-based position and orientation determination for endovascular tools
Systems and methods for vision-based position and orientation determination for endovascular tools are disclosed. In one example, a method includes receiving a two-dimensional medical image including a view of at least a distal portion of a medical instrument, the distal portion of the medical instrument including one or more fiducials positioned thereon, the one or more fiducials being radio-opaque and visible in the medical image. The method also includes detecting, within the medical image, a two-dimensional appearance of the one or more fiducials, and based on the two-dimensional appearance of the one or more fiducials, determining at least one of a roll angle of the distal portion of the medical instrument, and an incline of the distal portion of the medical instrument.

Intraoperative alignment assessment system and method
Some embodiments provide systems, assemblies, and methods of analyzing patient anatomy including providing an analysis of a patient's spine. The systems, assemblies, and/or methods can include obtaining initial patient data, and acquiring spinal alignment contour information. Further, the systems, assemblies, and/or methods can assess localized anatomical features of the patient, and obtain anatomical region data. The system, assemblies, and/or method can analyze the localized anatomy and therapeutic device location and contouring. Further, the system, assemblies, and/or method can output localized anatomical analyses and therapeutic device contouring data and/or imagery on a display.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TELESTRATION WITH SPATIAL MEMORY
An exemplary system is configured to detect user input directing a telestration element to be drawn within an image depicting a surface within a scene; render, based on depth data representative of a depth map for the scene and within a three dimensional (3D) image depicting the surface within the scene, the telestration element; record a 3D position within the scene at which the telestration element is rendered within the 3D image; detect a telestration termination event that removes the telestration element from being rendered within the 3D image; and indicate, subsequent to the telestration termination event, an option to again render the telestration element at the 3D position.
