Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a surgical robot system may include an end-effector element configured for controlled movement and positioning and tracking of surgical instruments and objects relative to an image of a patient's anatomical structure. In some embodiments the end-effector may be tracked by surgical robot system and displayed to a user. In some embodiments the end-effector element may be configured to restrict the movement of an instrument assembly in a guide tube. In some embodiments, the end-effector may contain structures to allow for magnetic coupling to a robot arm and/or wireless powering of the end-effector element. In some embodiments, tracking of a target anatomical structure and objects, both in a navigation space and an image space, may be provided by a dynamic reference base located at a position away from the target anatomical structure.

In some embodiments, an apparatus can include a robotic arm cart for transporting, delivering, and securing robotic arms to a surgical table having a table top on which a patient can be disposed. The arm cart can include an arm container and a base. The arm container can be configured to receive and contain one or more robotic arms. The arm cart can include a first coupling member configured to engage with a second coupling member associated with a surgical table such that, when the first coupling member is engaged with the second coupling member, the one or more robotic arms can be releasably coupled with the surgical table. The arm cart can provide for movement of the one or more robotic arms in at least one of a lateral, longitudinal, or vertical direction relative to the table top prior to the securement of the one or more robotic arms to the surgical table.

Provided are systems and techniques for a medical procedure. For example, the system may include one or more robotic arms, an imaging device, a master controller, a viewer configured to render one or more digital images based on image data from the imaging device, at least one computer-readable memory having stored thereon executable instructions, and one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to: in a first mode of operation, cause movement of at least one of the robotic arms; and in a second mode of operation, cause the viewer to display an interactive menu and a graphical overlay on the one or more digital images.

A surgical instrument assembly includes an attachment interface defining an inner cavity; a surgical tool comprising a shaft configured to be inserted into and operably attached to said attachment interface; and a seal positioned within said inner cavity, wherein said seal is configured to compress against said shaft as said surgical tool is inserted into and attached to said attachment interface to prevent the passage of debris from the external environment into said attachment interface as said surgical tool is attached to said attachment interface.

In some embodiments, an apparatus can include a cart for a surgical robotic arm having a coupler releasably coupleable to a coupling site on a surgical table. The cart can include a base and a first engagement feature. The base can be freely movably on a support surface between a first location remote from the surgical table and a second location adjacent the surgical table. The first engagement feature can be configured for engagement with a second engagement feature associated with the surgical table such that, when the first engagement feature and the second engagement feature are engaged, the coupler of the robotic arm is disposed in a position in which the coupler of the robotic arm can be engaged by the coupler of the surgical table.

A system comprises a storage device, a piece of medical equipment, a portable computing device, and a hub portal. The piece of medical equipment has at least one electrically powered feature and comprises either a medical examination table or a storage cabinet. The storage device is operable to store data and is remotely located relative to the first piece of medical equipment and relative to the portable computing device. The hub portal is operable to provide communication of one or both of data or commands between the storage device, the piece of medical equipment, and the portable computing device. A method includes enablement or activation of an electrically powered feature of medical equipment upon entry of a portable computing device into a medical examination room. The method also includes disablement or further activation of the electrically powered feature upon exit of the portable computing device from the medical examination room.

A system and method of checking registration for a surgical system, the surgical system including fiducials and tracking markers, may include: using the fiducials and the tracking markers to register a three-dimensional (3D) imaging space of the surgical system with a 3D tracking space of the surgical system; using a tracking fixture of an X-ray imaging system to register an X-ray imaging space of the X-ray imaging system to the 3D tracking space; obtaining a two-dimensional (2D) X-ray image corresponding to the 3D tracking space; identifying a point of interest in the 2D X-ray image; determining a vector in the 3D tracking space that passes through the point of interest; and/or evaluating the registration of the 3D imaging space with the 3D tracking space based on a location, an orientation, or the location and the orientation of the vector in the 3D tracking space.

The present disclosure describes composite frame systems. The internal composite frame system may include at least one composite frame component including an intermediate frame element having a first side and a second side. A first plate may be positioned on the first side, and a second plate may be positioned on the second side. One or more fastener assemblies are operable to couple the first and second plates to the intermediate frame element.

According to some aspects, a portable magnetic resonance imaging system is provided, comprising a magnetics system having a plurality of magnetics components configured to produce magnetic fields for performing magnetic resonance imaging.
