Direct anterior approach (DAA) with the patient lying supine has facilitated the use of intraoperative fluoroscopy and allows for standardized positioning of the patient. The method disclosed herein uses intraoperative fluoroscopy to measure acetabular component anteversion and more particularly, a method for measuring/calculating intraoperative cup (acetabular component) anteversion is provided based on the measured acetabular component abduction angle and a c-arm tilt angle (CaT).

A scanner includes a camera, a light source for generating a probe light incorporating a spatial pattern, an optical system for transmitting the probe light towards the object and for transmitting at least a part of the light returned from the object to the camera, a focus element within the optical system for varying a position of a focus plane of the spatial pattern on the object, unit for obtaining at least one image from said array of sensor elements, unit for evaluating a correlation measure at each focus plane position between at least one image pixel and a weight function, a processor for determining the in-focus position(s) of each of a plurality of image pixels for a range of focus plane positions, or each of a plurality of groups of image pixels for a range of focus plane positions, and transforming in-focus data into 3D real world coordinates.

An object information acquiring apparatus, comprises an irradiating unit configured to irradiates an object with pulsed light; an acoustic wave detection unit configured to detect an acoustic wave generated from the object irradiated with the pulsed light and convert the acoustic wave into an electric signal; a storage unit configured to store a normalized light fluence distribution, which is a light fluence distribution normalized for a region of a predetermined size; and a processing unit configured to acquire characteristic information on the object using the stored normalized light fluence distribution and the electric signal.

A body profiling system includes multiple pivotally connected links and multiple probes. Each of the probes is disposed on one of the links and includes any one or any combination of a transmitter configured to send a signal, a receiver configured to receive the signal, and a transceiver configured to send and receive the signal.

An exemplary operation management system is configured to obtain, from a depth sensor included in an imaging device, depth data representative of a depth map for an internal space of a patient, obtain auxiliary sensor data from an auxiliary sensor not included in the imaging device, and perform, based on the depth data and the auxiliary sensor data, an operation associated with a computer-assisted surgical system configured to perform a procedure within the internal space of the patient.

A dental imager includes an elongated handle with a rotatable head coupled to a distal end thereof and having a central platform with a plurality of arcuate scanning arms pivotally coupled thereto by a hinge. The arcuate scanning arms are of a shape and size for general deployment around a tooth and each include at least one scanner and a roller guide that comfortably rolls along the surface of the tooth or gums to bias the scanners a desired distance from the surface of the tooth, conducive for imaging thereof. In this respect, such a dental imager may be used in a process to scan and record the contours of an intraoral surface, the data of which may be used to create a digital three-dimensional surface impression printable by a 3D printer or the like.

Surgical robotic systems including a user console for controlling a robotic arm or a surgical robotic tool are described. The user console includes components designed to automatically adapt to anthropometric characteristics of a user. A processor of the surgical robotic system is configured to receive anthropometric inputs corresponding to the anthropometric characteristics and to generate an initial console configuration of the user console based on the inputs using a machine learning model. Actuators automatically adjust a seat, a display, or one or more pedals of the user console to the initial console configuration. The initial console configuration establishes a comfortable relative position between the user and the console components. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Provided is a medical image imaging apparatus that images a medical image of a breast, including a determination unit configured to determine an insertion state of the breast based on a form of the breast inserted into an imaging area for the medical image from an insertion portion.

A membrane assembly for use with a three-dimensional imager to obtain a topographical plantar image of a foot is provided. The assembly includes a support structure having a front end and a rear end elevated relative to the front end, and a flexible membrane suspended from the support structure and configured to receive and support an entire plantar surface of the foot. The membrane defines and encloses an upper portion of an inflatable chamber, and includes a forefoot- and a rearfoot-receiving region respectively adjacent to the front and the rear end of the support structure. The rearfoot-receiving region is under less tension than the forefoot-receiving region. The imager is positionable under the membrane in order to acquire the plantar image when the foot is disposed on the membrane. An apparatus including a membrane assembly and a three-dimensional imager, and a method for imaging a foot are also provided.

The invention concerns a dental imaging apparatus comprising: —a support frame, —a movable gantry that comprises two opposite arms respectively supporting an x-ray source and an x-ray sensor facing the x-ray source, —a movable patient positioning arm connected to the support frame, —two cameras positioned on the gantry arm supporting the x-ray source and on the positioning arm so as to respectively acquire side and front images of a patient's head, —a display assembly configured to simultaneously display in real time a side image and a front image of the patient's head taken by the two cameras.
