Various embodiments of wirelessly detectable objects to be used in medical procedures are provided. Such may employ ionizing radiation hard wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) transponders, other wireless transponders and/or integrated circuits, and attachment structures, all of which retain structural and functional integrity when exposed to standard sterilization dosages of ionizing radiation. Additionally or alternatively, the wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) transponders, other wireless transponders and/or integrated circuits, and attachment structures, may retain structural and functional integrity when exposed to standard sterilization temperatures and/or pressures.

A gauze detection system is provided that is capable of effectively detecting a gauze pad in the patient's body during surgery without applying special processing to the gauze pad. A gauze detection system 100, includes: an image input section 1 to input a taken image of an operative field; a determination section 2 to determine whether a determination target region contains a feature of a gauze image by image processing, the region having a predetermined size in an input image; and a determination result output section 3 to report detection of a gauze pad in the input image in a case of the determination target region being determined by the determination section 2 to contain the feature of the gauze image.

Implementations generally relate to surgical scene assessment based on computer vision. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a first image frame of a plurality of image frames associated with a surgical scene. The method further includes detecting one or more objects in the first image frame. The method further includes determining one or more positions corresponding to the one or more objects. The method further includes tracking each position of the one or more objects in other image frames of the plurality of image frames.

System, methods and apparatus related to surgical articles used during surgery. The system, methods and apparatus may include features such as an element/substrate added to surgical articles which enables the recognition by human visualization of the surgical articles when left inside patient bodies when viewed with medical imaging technologies. The element/substrate may include a plurality of three dimensional objects. Alternatively, the element/substrate may comprise a ribbon of radiopaque material having cut-puts or other radiolucent regions which provide image artifacts observable under fluoroscopic imaging.
