A surgical system includes a detector, comprising an array of pixels configured to detect light reflected by a surgical instrument and generate a first signal comprising a first dataset representative of a visible image of the surgical instrument. The surgical system also includes a processor configured to receive the first signal, generate a modified image of the surgical instrument that includes a control panel. The control panel includes one or more control elements representative of one or more operating parameters of the surgical instrument. The processor is further configured to receive an input to the control panel from a user, the input being effective to change one of the operating parameters. The processor is also configured to generate a command signal based on the input to change the one of the operating parameters.

There is provided a new and improved optical film, connecting member, endoscope camera drape, endoscope device, medical system, optical film production method, and connecting member production method capable of suppressing quality degradation of a captured image while also protecting the endoscope camera from airborne droplets, the optical film provided on the endoscope camera drape including: a drape section that covers a circumferential face of an endoscope camera, and a connecting member which is provided on a front end of the drape section and connects an endoscope and the endoscope camera, the optical film being provided on the connecting member, and including: a reflection suppression section configured to suppress a reflection of incident light incident on the endoscope camera from the endoscope.

Improved fluoresced imaging (FI) endoscope devices and systems are provided to enhance use of endoscopes with FI and visible light capabilities. An endoscope device is provided for endoscopy imaging in a white light and a fluoresced light mode. A chromatic adjustment assembly, typically implemented with prisms, compensates for a chromatic focal difference between the white light image and the fluoresced light image caused by the dispersive properties of the optical materials or optical design employed in the construction of the optical channel. The assembly is placed optically between the most proximal rod lens of the endoscope and the focusing optics, typically at an internal telecentric image space, to improve the chromatic correction. The prism assembly directs incoming light with different spectral content along separate paths which compensate for chromatic aberration.

Speckle removal in a pulsed fluorescence imaging system is described. A system includes a coherent light source for emitting pulses of coherent light, a fiber optic bundle connected to the coherent light source, and a vibrating mechanism attached to the fiber optic bundle. The system includes and an image sensor comprising a pixel array for sensing reflected electromagnetic radiation. The system is such that at least a portion of the pulses of coherent light emitted by the coherent light source comprises electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength from about 770 nm to about 790 nm.

An electronic assembly includes a printed circuit board (“PCB”), an electrical component attached to a surface of the PCB, and a conformal barrier disposed on at least a portion of the surface of the PCB and on an outer surface of the electrical component. The conformal barrier includes a first barrier layer including an atomic layer deposited film and a second barrier layer including Parylene.

A system and method of providing composite real-time dynamic imagery of a medical procedure site from multiple modalities which continuously and immediately depicts the current state and condition of the medical procedure site synchronously with respect to each modality and without undue latency is disclosed. The composite real-time dynamic imagery may be provided by spatially registering multiple real-time dynamic video streams from the multiple modalities to each other. Spatially registering the multiple real-time dynamic video streams to each other may provide a continuous and immediate depiction of the medical procedure site with an unobstructed and detailed view of a region of interest at the medical procedure site at multiple depths. A user may thereby view a single, accurate, and current composite real-time dynamic imagery of a region of interest at the medical procedure site as the user performs a medical procedure.

A high-resolution microendoscope system includes a light source, a fiber optic bundle configured to transmit light from the light source to a sample, a disc configured to receive light returned from the sample, the disc having spaced apart segments, the spaced-apart segments being at least one of openings and transparent portions, a first camera configured to capture a first image based at least in part on light passing through the disc, and a second camera configured to capture a second image based at least in part on light reflected from the disc.

The present disclosure is directed towards a video display system and an endoscopic system configured to provide the surgeon with an optimized video image based upon user preference. The video display system includes a first video image displaying a white light video of a surgical site. The first video image has a first predetermined area. A second video image is overlaid on the first video image. The second video image is displayed in a fluorescent light video. The second video image is centered on the surgical site and includes a second predetermined area. The second predetermined area is smaller than the first predetermined area so as to define a boundary of white light video. Thus, the video display system provides the surgeon with the ability to reference the location of the fluorescent light video with respect to anatomical features of the surgical site.

A communication method for a capsule system, comprising: a capsule periodically transmits a capsule characteristics identifier; a configurator receives the capsule characteristics identifier, and transmits the capsule characteristics identifier and a configurator characteristics identifier; the capsule checks whether the received capsule characteristics identifier is consistent with the capsule characteristics identifier in local, and when it is consistent, the capsule saves the configurator characteristics identifier and transmits the configurator characteristics identifier; the configurator receives and checks whether the configurator characteristics identifier is consistent with the configurator characteristics identifier in local, and when it is consistent, the configurator locks the capsule to complete pairing.
