Abstract: Techniques for reducing blade exposures include a computer-assisted device having one or more processors and a drive system comprising one or more drive units configured to be coupled to a cutting instrument. The one or more processors are configured to: measure, using one or more first sensors, a jaw angle between gripping jaws of the cutting instrument; measure, using one or more second sensors, a roll of a shaft of the cutting instrument; correct the jaw angle based on the roll of the shaft; determine a restriction on a cutting operation to be performed using the instrument based on the corrected jaw angle; and perform or prevent the cutting operation according to the restriction.

Abstract: An optical force sensor along with an optical processing apparatus and method are disclosed. The optical force sensor includes an optical fiber, a core included in the optical fiber, an instrument including the optical fiber, the instrument having a distal region, and a tubular structure encasing an end of the optical fiber and secured to the first conduit at the distal region of the instrument. When an optical interferometric system is coupled to the optical fiber, it processes reflected light from a portion of the core included within the tubular structure that does not include Bragg gratings to produce a measurement of a force present at the distal region of the instrument.

Abstract: Methods for using registered real-time images and prior-time anatomic images during an image-guided procedure are provided herein. An exemplary method includes obtaining a three-dimensional image of a patient anatomy and a portion of a medical instrument disposed therein. The three-dimensional image includes image information characterizing a shape of the portion of the medical instrument. A processing device segments the portion of the medical instrument from the three-dimensional image. Shape data is obtained from the portion of the medical instrument while the portion is positioned within the patient anatomy, and the processing device registers the segmented shape of the portion of the medical instrument with the shape data from the portion of the medical instrument.

Abstract: Various of the disclosed embodiments relate to computer systems and computer-implemented methods for measuring and monitoring surgical performance, For example, the system may receive raw data acquired from the surgical theater, generate and select features from the data amenable to analysis, and then train a machine learning classifier using the selected features to facilitate subsequent assessment of other surgeons' performances. Generation and selection of the features may itself involve application of a machine learning classifier in some embodiments. While some embodiments contemplate raw data acquired from surgical robotic systems, some embodiments facilitate assessments upon data acquired from non-robotic surgical theaters.

Abstract: A movable table may be configured to support a patient. The movable table may comprise a communication interface configured to communicatively couple with a medical device. The movable table may also comprise one or more processors and a non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations. The operations may include transmitting, via the communication interface and to the medical device, information relating to a planned motion of the movable table and receiving, via the communication interface and from the medical device, a response to the information relating to the planned motion of the movable table. Based on the response received from the medical device, the operations may include selectively causing performance of the planned motion of the movable table.

Abstract: Implementations relate to a master control device. In some implementations, a master control device includes a control body comprising a proximal end, a thumb grip portion, and a finger grip portion. The control body has a length configured to engage the proximal end of the control body in the palm of a hand of the user while the hand engages the thumb grip portion with a thumb of the hand and the finger grip portion with a finger of the hand. The control body is configured to allow the proximal end of the control body to be selectively engaged by the palm of the hand and selectively disengaged from the palm of the hand while the hand engages the thumb grip portion with the thumb of the hand and the finger grip portion with the finger of the hand.

Abstract: A fluorescence imaging control system may direct an imaging system to detect, over a period of time, first fluorescence emitted from a first fluorescing region illuminated with fluorescence excitation illumination. The first fluorescing region includes a first population of fluorophores that emit the first fluorescence. The fluorescence imaging control system may also direct the imaging system to detect, over the period of time, second fluorescence emitted from a second fluorescing region illuminated with the fluorescence excitation illumination. The second fluorescing region includes a second population of fluorophores that emit the second fluorescence. The first fluorescing region photobleaches at a first photobleaching rate and the second fluorescing region photobleaches at a second photobleaching rate that is different than the first photobleaching rate. The fluorescence imaging control system may determine, based on the detected first fluorescence and second fluorescence, a measure of photobleaching of the first fluorescing region.

Abstract: A medical device includes a wrist link, an inner pulley, an outer pulley support, an outer pulley, a first tension member, and a second tension member. The wrist list includes a wrist link body and an inner pulley support extending outward from the wrist link body. The inner pulley is rotatably mounted on the inner pulley support and the inner pulley support extending a first distance away from the wrist link. The outer pulley support is coupled to the wrist link body and extends spaced from the wrist link body. The outer pulley is rotatably mounted on the outer pulley support. The outer pulley support is spaced a second distance away from the wrist link, and the second distance is larger than the first distance. The first tension member extends around the inner pulley and the second tension member extends around the outer pulley.
