A biological tissue inspection apparatus is disclosed. The biological tissue inspection apparatus comprises a stage and a probe. The probe comprises an optical imaging device, an optical interference detector, and a light guide. The probe acquires data regarding optical images and optical interference, through the optical imaging device and the optical interference detector. The stage or the probe moves such that a selected area of the inspection object is positioned in the FOV of the optical imaging device and of the optical interference detector. The light guide is configured such that illumination light from the optical imaging device and measurement light from the optical interference detector are coaxially emitted to the inspection object.

A surgical navigation system includes: a tracker (125) for real-time tracking of a position and orientation of a robot arm (191); a source of a patient anatomical data (163) and a robot arm virtual image (166); a surgical navigation image generator (131) generating a surgical navigation image (142A) including the patient anatomy (163) and the robot arm virtual image (166) in accordance to the current position and/or orientation data provided by the tracker (125); a 3D display system (140) showing the surgical navigation image (142A).

An apparatus and a method to adjust mechanical properties of an intraocular lens including at least two haptics and at least one optical element, with the apparatus including at least one laser light source adapted to provide inscription of a pattern in the lens and a digital control unit adapted to control the laser light.

Systems and methods are provided in which devices that are employed during a medical procedure are adaptively configured during the medical procedure, based on input or feedback that is associated with the current state, phase or context of the medical procedure. In some example embodiments, the input is obtained via the identification of one or more medical instruments present within a region of interest, and this input may be employed to determine configuration parameters for configuring the device. In other example embodiments, the input may be based on the image-based detection of a measure associated with the phase or context of the medical procedure, and this input may be employed to adaptively control the device based on the inferred context or phase of the medical procedure. In other embodiments, images from one imaging modality may be employed to adaptively switch to another imaging modality.

A camera device includes a camera head that captures an observation image of a target site which is obtained by a surgical microscope, and a camera control unit that processes a signal of the observation video captured by the camera head. The camera head captures right and left observation images having a parallax from the surgical microscope to obtain a high-resolution observation video including right and left parallax videos for one screen, and the camera control unit cuts out the right parallax video and the left parallax video from the observation video including the right and left parallax videos to generate a high-resolution 3D video which is displayed on a monitor in 3D and with which stereoscopic observation can be performed.

In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, provided is a surgical heads-up display system comprising a heads-up display and an articulable arm coupled to the heads-up display. The heads-up display is configured to receive a portable electronic device and to redirect a display output of the portable electronic device. The articulable arm is configured to enable selective positioning and maintenance of the heads-up display in a selected position such that the display output of the portable electronic device is redirected in a chosen direction.

A surgery system comprises a camera obtaining camera images, an OCT system, a data memory storing geometry data of a surgical tool 133 and a controller configured to identify a first portion of the tool in the camera images by object recognition using the geometry data; to determine, in the field of view, first locations where the tool is located and second locations aside of the tool; to trigger the OCT system to perform depth scans at the first and second locations; to identify a second portion 153 of the tool in the depth scans by object recognition using the geometry data; and to generate a first image 154 representing a third portion 157 of the tool based on the geometry data and the depth scans.

A stereoscopic imaging platform includes a stereoscopic camera configured to record left and right images of a target site. A robotic arm is operatively connected to the stereoscopic camera, the robotic arm being adapted to selectively move the stereoscopic camera relative to the target. The stereoscopic camera includes a lens assembly having at least one lens and defining a working distance. The lens assembly has at least one focus motor adapted to move the at least one lens to selectively vary the working distance. A controller is adapted to selectively execute one or more automatic focusing modes for the stereoscopic camera. The controller has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded. The automatic focusing modes include a target locking mode. The target locking mode is adapted to maintain a focus of the at least one stereoscopic image while the robotic arm is moving the stereoscopic camera.

A cannula system and method for accessing a blood mass in the brain. The system comprises a cannula with a camera mounted on the proximal end of the cannula with a view into the cannula lumen and the surgical field below the lumen. A prism, reflector or other suitable optical element is oriented between the camera and the lumen of the cannula to afford the camera a view into the cannula while minimizing obstruction of the lumen. The system may also include an obturator with a small diameter shaft and a large diameter tip which is optically transmissive, so that a surgeon inserting or manipulating the assembly can easily see that the obturator tip is near brain tissue (which is white) or blood (which is red).

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for processing laser speckle signals. The method may comprise obtaining a laser speckle signal from a laser speckle pattern generated using at least one laser light source that is directed towards a tissue region of a subject and a reference signal corresponding to a movement of a biological material of or within the subject's body. The method may comprise computing one or more measurements using a first function corresponding to at least the laser speckle signal and a second function corresponding to the reference signal. The method may comprise generating an output signal in part based on the one or more measurements for the function space and using the output signal to aid a surgical procedure on or near the tissue region of the subject.
