20230068812 · 2023-03-02 ·

An oral imaging device includes a base, a camera module, and a plurality of light source modules. The base includes a camera component, an opening surface, and a plurality of light source components connected to two sides of the camera component. A slant angle exists between each light source component and the camera component. The slant angle is a non-right angle. The opening surface is substantially parallel to the camera component. The camera module is located on the camera component and faces the opening surface. The plurality of light source modules each are located on each light source component and configured to project a light beam onto the opening surface. A center ray of the light beam passes through a center point of the opening surface.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FOR SURGICAL APPLICATIONS
20230076334 · 2023-03-09 ·

A surgical device includes a plurality of cameras integrated therein. The view of each of the plurality of cameras can be integrated together to provide a composite image. A surgical tool that includes an integrated camera may be used in conjunction with the surgical device. The image produced by the camera integrated with the surgical tool may be associated with the composite image generated by the plurality of cameras integrated in the surgical device. The position and orientation of the cameras and/or the surgical tool can be tracked, and the surgical tool can be rendered as transparent on the composite image. A surgical device may be powered by a hydraulic system, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference with tracking devices.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMAGE GUIDED TRANSORAL ROBOTIC SURGERY USING AN IMAGING COMPATIBLE ORAL RETRACTOR SYSTEM
20220330804 · 2022-10-20 ·

A support rig for a medical instrument can hold a medical instrument that is inserted into a patient in a fixed position and orientation relative to patient, so that the position and orientation of the medical instrument is not affected by the breathing or other motion of the patient. The support rig and medical instrument can be radiolucent and non-metallic, so that an image can be taken of the patient while the medical instrument is inserted in the patent and held by the support rig. The radiolucent support rig and medical instrument can allow for imaging, including x-ray, CT, and/or MRI, to occur simultaneously during the surgery. Surgical outcomes can be improved by using imaging to provide information about a tumor and/or anatomical structures during surgery.
