A surgical device includes a plurality of cameras integrated therein. The view of each of the plurality of cameras can be integrated together. A surgical tool that includes an integrated camera may be used in conjunction with the surgical device. The image produced by the camera integrated with the surgical tool may be associated with the images generated by the plurality of cameras integrated in the surgical device. The position and orientation of the cameras and/or the surgical tool can be tracked, and the surgical tool can be rendered as at least partially transparent. A surgical device may be powered by a hydraulic system, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference with tracking devices.

Head-mounted display device for use in a medical facility

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 medical image processing device includes a storage and a processor. The storage stores notification setting information for setting a notification content regarding which method a notification is performed in accordance with lesion information indicating content of a lesion, part information representing a part, or procedure information representing a procedure performed at a time of acquisition of a medical image. The processor is configured to acquire the medical image including a subject; perform image analysis processing on the medical image; select use-notification setting information from the notification setting information by using the lesion information, the part information or the procedure information; and perform the notification to notify a user of a result of the image analysis processing with different methods of the notifications for different lesion information, part information or procedure information according to the use-notification setting information.

Computerized tomography (CT) image correction using position and direction (P andD) tracking assisted optical visualization

A system (11) includes a medical probe (36) for insertion into a cavity of an organ, which includes a position and direction sensor (60) and a camera (45), both operating in a sensor coordinate system (62). The system further includes a processor (44) configured to: receive, from an imaging system (21) operating in an image coordinate system (28), a three-dimensional image of the cavity including open space and tissue; receive, from the medical probe, signals indicating positions and respective directions of the medical probe inside the cavity; receive, from the camera, respective visualized locations inside the cavity; register the image coordinate system with the sensor coordinate system so as to identify one or more voxels in the image at the visualized locations, and when the identified voxels have density values in the received image that do not correspond to the open space, to update the density values of the identified voxels to correspond to the open space.

A surgical device includes a plurality of cameras integrated therein. The view of each of the plurality of cameras can be integrated together to provide a composite image. A surgical tool that includes an integrated camera may be used in conjunction with the surgical device. The image produced by the camera integrated with the surgical tool may be associated with the composite image generated by the plurality of cameras integrated in the surgical device. The position and orientation of the cameras and/or the surgical tool can be tracked, and the surgical tool can be rendered as transparent on the composite image. A surgical device may be powered by a hydraulic system, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference with tracking devices.
