Abstract:
An endoscope system includes an endoscope, a display, one or more sensors, and a control system. The display is configured to display image content captured by the endoscope. The one or more sensors are located in a headrest and configured to detect an input at the headrest. The control system is configured to receive one or more sensor signals from the one or more sensors and adjust the image content displayed by the display in response to the one or more sensor signals. The one or more sensor signals indicate movement of the headrest with respect to a support on which the headrest is mounted or pressure applied to the headrest
Abstract:
A method for performing a surgical procedure includes adjusting an encoding configuration of a video encoder in response to receiving an input associated with a change of state of a surgical system performing the surgical procedure, and encoding image data of the surgical procedure captured after the change of state based on the adjusted encoding configuration.
Abstract:
A method of searching video content for specific subject matter of interest augments traditional image data analysis methods with analysis of contemporaneously gathered non-image data. One application involves video recordings of medical procedures performed using a medical device. When a user desires to locate portions of video recordings showing a medical event of interest, one or more medical device system events likely to correspond to the occurrence of the medical event of interest are identified from one or more procedure event logs. Timestamps associated with these system events are used to identify candidate video clips from the procedure video recordings. Image data analysis is performed on the candidate video clips to determine whether each candidate video clip contains the medical event of interest.
Abstract:
An apparatus is configured to show telestration in 3-D to a surgeon in real time. A proctor is shown one side of a stereo image pair, such that the proctor can draw a telestration line on the one side with an input device. Points of interest are identified for matching to the other side of the stereo image pair. In response to the identified points of interest, regions and features are identified and used to match the points of interest to the other side. Regions can be used to match the points of interest. Features of the first image can be matched to the second image and used to match the points of interest to the second image, for example when the confidence scores for the regions are below a threshold value. Constraints can be used to evaluate the matched points of interest, for example by excluding bad points.

Abstract:
Implementations relate to medical simulations for medical procedure training. In some implementations, a system includes a simulation processing component including at least one processor and which generates a virtual environment using position signals that describe at least one of a position and a configuration of a physical surgical instrument relative to a physical surgical site. The simulation processing component updates the virtual environment according to changes in the position signals and according to control signals corresponding to inputs by a user of the system. The updating includes moving a virtual surgical instrument within the virtual environment, where an interaction of the virtual surgical instrument with a virtual surgical site is defined at least partly by a physical relationship between the physical surgical instrument and the physical surgical site. The simulation processing component outputs a representation of a simulation state signal indicative of a current state of the virtual environment.

Abstract:
Control of an endoscope in a surgical system is described. In some embodiments, the endoscope can be controlled by movement of the surgeon's head or face at a surgeon's console. In some embodiments the endoscope control system includes one or more sensors, one or more actuators, and one or more processors coupled to the one or more sensors and the one or more actuators. The one or more processors are configured to receive one or more sensor signals from the one or more sensors, the one or more sensor signals indicating movement of a head of a surgeon and providing an indication of movement of an image received by an endoscope, generate one or more actuation signals based on the indication of movement, and actuate the one or more actuators using the one or more actuation signals to move the endoscope.
