An exemplary system includes a memory storing instructions and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor may be configured to execute the instructions to obtain one or more operating characteristics of an instrument located in a surgical space; obtain one or more anatomical characteristics associated with the surgical space; and direct a computer-assisted surgical system to automatically perform, based on the based on the one or more operating characteristics of the device and the one or more anatomical characteristics associated with the surgical space, an operation with the instrument located in the surgical space.

Medical software tools platforms utilize a surgical display to provide access to specific medical software tools, such as medically-oriented applications or widgets, that can assist surgeons or surgical team in performing various procedures. In particular, an endoscopic camera may register the momentary rise in the optical signature reflected from a tissue surface and in turn transmit it to a medical image processing system which can also receive patient heart rate data and display relevant anomalies. Changes in various spectral components and the speed at which they change in relation to a source of stimulus (heartbeat, breathing, light source modulation, etc.) may indicate the arrival of blood, contrast agents or oxygen absorption. Combinations of these may indicate various states of differing disease or margins of tumors, and so forth. Also, changes in temperatures, physical dimensions, pressures, photoacoustic pressures and the rate of change may indicate tissue anomalies in comparison to historic values.

A method for visualizing tissue of a subject includes receiving a first series of first imaging modality frames generated by imaging a region of tissue of the subject, and a first series of second imaging modality frames generated by imaging the region of tissue; displaying the first series of first imaging modality frames in combination with the first series of second imaging modality frames; storing a plurality of first imaging modality frames and a plurality of second imaging modality frames of the first series of second imaging modality frames in a memory; receiving a second series of first imaging modality frames generated by imaging the region of tissue; and displaying the second series of first imaging modality frames in combination with one or more of the second imaging modality frames of the first series of second imaging modality frames stored in the memory for visualizing the region of tissue.

An exemplary system includes a memory storing instructions and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor may be configured to execute the instructions to obtain one or more parameters of a non-robotic device in a surgical space, the non-robotic device engaged by a computer-assisted surgical system; generate, based on at least the one or more parameters of the non-robotic device, guidance content for use by the computer-assisted surgical system to facilitate guided teleoperation of the non-robotic device; and provide the guidance content to the computer-assisted surgical system.

Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for providing augmented reality to a surgeon with the steps of acquiring at least one preoperative medical scan image of a region of interest in which the surgery is to be performed and introducing a fiducial device non-invasively or minimal invasively into a body lumen present in the region of interest of a patient. The fiducial device will be in particular introduced into a lumen, which can be clearly identified in the medical scan image. The fiducial device is adapted to emit infrared light either by using infrared light source or by using fluorescent material placed in or in the fiducial device ad to be excited by illumination light or exciting light. After acquiring at least one imaging light live image and one infrared live image the tissue structure of the body lumen with the fiducial device placed therein is clearly detectable within the live image and can reliably registered and matched to the scan image for presenting the overlaid images and to the surgeon.

An intervention system employing an interventional robot (30), an interventional imaging modality (10) and an interventional controller (70). In 5 operation, the interventional controller (70) navigates an anatomical roadmap (82) of an anatomical region of a patient in accordance with an interventional plan to thereby control a navigation of the interventional robot (30) within the anatomical region in accordance with the anatomical roadmap (82). Upon a detection by the interventional controller (70) of an occurrence of the interventional controller (70) navigating 10 proximately to a critical anatomical location within the anatomical roadmap (82), the interventional controller (70) pauses the navigation of the interventional robot (30) within anatomical region and autonomously controls an operation of the interventional imaging modality (10) for generating an updated anatomical roadmap (82) of the anatomical region whereby the interventional controller (70) navigates the updated 15 anatomical roadmap (82) of the anatomical region in accordance with the interventional plan to thereby control a resumed navigation of the interventional robot (30) within the anatomical region.

Method and apparatus for treating peripheral olfactory dysfunction are described herein. One method may include introducing a treatment device into a nasal cavity of the patient, the treatment device having a proximal end, a distal end, an elongated shaft therebetween, and a treatment end effector disposed on or near the distal end. The distal end of the treatment device may be advanced into proximity of a cribriform plate within the nasal cavity and at least one olfactory neuron may be ablated through the cribriform plate via the treatment end effector to reduce at least one symptom of olfactory dysfunction.

A system comprises an image capture device, an augmented reality (AR) display to display, and a processing device. The processing deice receives image data of a dental arch from the image capture device and processes the image data using a plurality of detection rules, where each detection rule detects one or more dental conditions. The processing device determines a dental condition for the dental arch based on the processing, determines a position of an area of interest on the dental arch, wherein the area of interest is associated with the dental condition, generates a visual overlay comprising an indication of the dental condition at the position of the area of interest, and outputs the visual overlay to the AR display, wherein the visual overlay is superimposed over a view of the dental arch on the AR display at the position of the area of interest.

Examples relate to a system, a method and a computer program controlling a recording device of a surgical microscope system, and to a corresponding surgical microscope system. The system comprises one or more processors and an interface. The system is configured to obtain input data from one or more sensors or actors of the surgical microscope system via the interface. The system is configured to detect a start or an end of a surgery based on the input data. The surgery involves a use of the surgical microscope system. The system is configured to provide a control signal to the recording device of the surgical microscope system via the interface based on the detected start or end of the surgery. The input data may be used to detect the start or the end of a surgical procedure, which may in turn trigger the activation or deactivation of the recording being performed by the recording device.
