Systems and methods for tracking movement of an anatomical element are provided. A marker may be coupled to an anatomical element and may be tracked by a navigation system. Movement of the marker may be detected by the navigation system and a pose of the marker may be determined based on the movement. The pose of the marker may be validated when the pose substantially matches a desired predetermined pose.

ROBOT INTEGRATED SEGMENTAL TRACKING
20230245327 · 2023-08-03 ·

Methods, systems, and devices for robot integrated segmental tracking are described. A system determines first positional information of one or more objects based on three-dimensional first image data captured by an imaging device, tracking information associated with the one or more objects, or both. The first positional information includes a real-time location of the one or more objects. The system generates an image including a graphical representation of the one or more objects. Generating the image includes positioning the graphical representation of the one or more objects based on a comparison result indicative of a deviation between the first positional information and reference positional information of the one or more objects. The reference positional information includes a registered location of the one or more objects. The system outputs an indication of the deviation between the first positional information and the reference positional information.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING SURGICAL TOOLS BASED ON BONE DENSITY ESTIMATION
20230240749 · 2023-08-03 ·

A method of estimating bone mineral density according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure includes receiving one or more images of an anatomical element; generating, based on the one or more images of the anatomical element, a three-dimensional mask for the anatomical element; generating, based on the three-dimensional mask for the anatomical element, a transformed three-dimensional mask for at least a portion of the anatomical element; filtering the one or more images of the anatomical element with the transformed three-dimensional mask for the at least a portion of the anatomical element; and determining, based on the filtering, a bone mineral density for the at least a portion of the anatomical element.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REGISTERING ONE OR MORE ANATOMICAL ELEMENTS

Systems and methods for registering one or more anatomical elements are provided. The system may comprise an imaging device and a navigation system configured to track a pose of a marker coupled to an object and configured to identify the marker. A first image may be received from a surgical plan. Pose information describing the pose of the marker and a marker identification of the marker may be obtained from the navigation system. An object identification based on the marker identification may be retrieved from a database. Image data of a second image depicting an anatomical element and the object may be obtained from the imaging device. The image data, the pose information, and the object identification may be input into a registration model. The registration model may be configured to register the anatomical element to the first image based on the pose information and the object identification.

Intravascular catheter for modeling blood vessels

A method of generating a 4D model includes capturing imagery of a catheter and a vessel as the catheter is directed through the vessel to a location of interest, wherein the catheter is disposed on a guidewire, constructing a 3D time varying reference curve describing a trajectory of the guidewire, and constructing a time varying 3D model of the artery using the reference curve.

TREATMENT OF THE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT WITH PULSED ELECTRIC FIELDS

Devices, systems and methods are provided for treating conditions of the reproductive tract. A number of conditions can afflict the lining and cell layers deeper within the anatomical structures. For example, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), also known as cervical dysplasia, is a condition involving abnormal growth of cells on the surface of the cervix that could potentially lead to cervical cancer in situ (CIS). Other conditions include human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cervical disease, various endometrial diseases, acute and chronic cervicitis, and various infections (e.g. trichomoniasis) to name a few. In some embodiments, treatments eliminate diseased, damaged, abnormal or otherwise undesired cells leaving the tissue framework intact. This allows the tissue to regenerate in a normal fashion, avoiding the formation of scar tissue. When the tissue framework is left intact, the framework structure repopulates with healthy cells, regenerating the normal tissue without altering the structural properties.

Intravascular device movement speed guidance and associated devices, systems, and methods

In an embodiment, a medical system is disclosed. One embodiment of the medical system comprises a medical processing unit in communication with an intravascular instrument configured to be moved longitudinally within a body lumen and in further communication with a radiographic imaging source configured to obtain radiographic images of the intravascular instrument while the intravascular instrument is moved longitudinally within the body lumen. The medical processing unit is configured to receive radiographic images obtained by the radiographic imaging source, track the intravascular instrument within the radiographic images while the intravascular instrument is moved longitudinally within the body lumen, calculate a movement speed based on the tracking, compare the calculated movement speed to a predefined target movement speed, generate a speed-adjustment suggestion based on the comparison, and output the speed-adjustment suggestion to a display for review by a user.

Systems, methods, and devices for registering and tracking organs during interventional procedures
11766298 · 2023-09-26 ·

Systems, methods, and devices are provided for assisting or performing guided interventional procedures using. The system uses pre-procedure scans of a patient's anatomy to identify targets and critical structures. A measurement device containing position indicating elements or fiducials is placed in a pre-existing or physician created conduit or lumen whose geometry is known from a scan. During a procedure, the pre-procedure scans may be registered to the patient using the position indicating elements or fiducials and the geometry of the conduit. This registration may be used in an intervention to guide instruments that can obtain diagnostic information or provide therapy to the identified targets. During the procedure, the position indicating elements may be used to dynamically compensate for motion to further improve accuracy.
