Apparatus for imaging during surgical procedures includes an operating room for the surgical procedure and an MRI for obtaining images periodically through the surgical procedure by moving the magnet up to the table. The magnet wire is formed of a superconducting material such as magnesium di-boride or Niobium-Titanium which is cooled by a vacuum cryocooling system to superconductivity without use of liquid helium. The magnet weighs less than 1 to 2 tonne and has a floor area in the range 15 to 35 sq feet so that it can be carried on the floor by a support system having an air cushion covering the base area of the magnet having side skirts so as to spread the weight over the entire base area. The magnet remains in the room during surgery and is powered off to turn off the magnetic field when in the second position remote from the table.

A waste collection system for collecting medical waste. A mobile rover includes at least one waste container, and a rover controller. A chassis is removably couplable with the mobile rover and includes a vacuum regulator, and a chassis controller. The chassis controller is configured to control operation of the vacuum regulator based on a pressure signal from a pressure sensor disposed on the mobile rover. The chassis may include a control panel configured to receive an input of and display a vacuum level, and the chassis controller may control operation of the vacuum regulator based on the input. The mobile rover may include plural waste containers, and the chassis may include plural vacuum regulators. The chassis controller may control operation of the vacuum regulators on the chassis to independently regulate the vacuum level supplied to each of the waste containers on the mobile rover.

A system can be configured to generate a medical image. The system can include processing circuitry and memory coupled to the processing circuitry. The memory can include instructions stored therein that are executable by the processing circuitry to cause the system to perform operations. The operations can include obtaining a first image of an anatomical object. The operations can further include extracting first information associated with the anatomical object from the first image. The operations can further include obtaining a second image of the anatomical object. The operations can further include extracting second information associated with the anatomical object from the second image. The operations can further include generating the medical image based on the first information, the second information, and predetermined information. The predetermined information can be associated with images of anatomical objects of a type that is a type of the anatomical object.

Systems and methods for histotripsy and immunotherapy are provided. In some embodiments, histotripsy can be applied to a target tissue volume to lyse and solubilize the target tissue volume to release tumor antigens. In some embodiments, an immune response of the treatment can be evaluated. In other embodiments, an immune therapy can be applied after applying the histotripsy. In one embodiment, the lysed and solubilized cells can be extracted from the tissue. The extracted cells can be used to create immune therapies, including vaccines.

A surgical robotic system includes a first robotic arm configured to hold a camera access port and an endoscopic camera inserted therethrough. The system also includes a plurality of secondary robotic arms each of which is configured to hold an instrument access port of a plurality of instrument access ports and a surgical instrument of a plurality of surgical instruments, each of which is configured to be inserted into one instrument access port of the plurality of instrument access ports. The system further includes a plurality of beacons. One beacon of the plurality of beacons is disposed on the camera access port and one beacon of the remaining plurality of beacons is disposed on one instrument access port of the plurality of instrument access ports. Each beacon of the plurality of beacons is configured to wirelessly communicate with each other. The system additionally includes a controller configured to determine a position of the endoscopic camera and the plurality of surgical instruments based on wireless communication between the beacons.

First and second handles 18 and 20 extend from first and second plier parts 24 and 26 with a tool shaft 14 disposed on the handle 20 and extending outward of a pivot at 34 and stows into the outer side of the handle 20. The base 42 of the tool shaft 14 has a mating profile 80 which engages a complimentary mating profile 48 disposed on the pivot at 32 or at a complimentary mating profile 48 in an accessory tool 50. The tool shaft 14 is locked in place by closing the two handles 18 and 20 and engaging the handle locking mechanism 30, and extends from a center of the two handles 18 and 20 when closed.

A plurality of modules are simultaneously positioned at locations that correspond to different angiosomes. Each of these modules has a front surface shaped and dimensioned for contacting a person's skin, a plurality of different-wavelength light sources aimed in a forward direction, and a plurality of light detectors aimed to detect light arriving from in front of the front surface. Each module is supported by a support structure (e.g., a strap or a clip) that is shaped and dimensioned to hold the front surface adjacent to the person's skin at a respective position. Perfusion in each of the angiosomes is monitored using these modules, and the surgeon can rely on this information to guide his or her intervention.

Disclosed in an accessory circuit for a modular energy system. The accessory circuit includes an accessory port configured to receive an accessory, a power supply, a processor, an isolation barrier configured to electrically isolate the processor and the power supply from the accessory port. A flexible serial communication interface is coupled between the processor and the accessory port. The flexible serial communication interface is configured to support multiple communication protocols. A presence detection circuit is coupled between the accessory port and the processor. The presence detection circuit is configured to detect presence of an accessory connected to the accessory port.
