    摘要: A device and method is provided for a suction tool combined with an optical probe. A suction device is provided having a tip with a hollow tubular body, a plurality of optical fibers embedded in the tip and a concentric ring attached to the tip, wherein the ring end has an inner beveled reflective surface opposing the optical fibers. A method is provided for optically measuring tissue in a medical procedure comprising suctioning a tissue using a suction device, sending optical signals along optical fibers through the suction device; directing the signals from the optical fibers onto the tissue using a beveled surface; receiving optical signals from the tissue in optical fibers via the beveled reflective surface; measuring the received optical signals in a spectrometer or detector; and releasing, resecting or ablating the tissue through the suction device.

    摘要: A system for assisting a surgeon to perform an operation on a patient where surgeon employs a first surgical instrument that has a shaft and a tip. The system include a video capture device configured to capture real-time video data showing the first surgical instrument while the first surgical instrument is being used by the surgeon to perform the operation. The system also includes a display device and a computer processor. The computer processor is configured to receive real-time video data from the video capture device as a sequence of digital image frames and, for each image frame, analyze the image frame to determine the location in the image frame of the shaft of the first surgical instrument, process the image frame to overlay received overlay information on the shaft of the first surgical instrument as it appears in the image frame, and display the processed image frame on the display device.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system includes a transmit radio frequency (RF) coil assembly comprising multiple capacitor banks each coupled to at least one diode that is characterized by a high breakdown voltage such that when the transmit RF coil assembly applies at least one slice-selecting RF pulse to a portion of a subject placed in the magnet to select a particular slice for MR imaging, the capacitor banks are selectively adjusted to improve an RF transmission characteristics of the RF coil assembly in transmitting the at least one slice-selecting RF pulse. The MR imaging system may further include a receive radio frequency (RF) coil assembly configured to, in response to at least the slice-selecting RF pulse, receive at least one response radio frequency (RF) pulse emitted from the selected slice of the portion of the subject; a housing; a main magnet; gradient coils; and a control unit.
