摘要:
A robotic punch system employs a robot unit (70) and a control unit (80). The robot unit (70) includes a robot (71) and an endoscopic punch (72) mounted to the robot (71). The endoscopic punch (72) includes a calibrated spatial alignment of an endoscope (73) and a punch (74).

摘要:
An endoscopic surgical method involves an advancement of an endoscope (20) to a target location within an anatomical region of a body and a generation of a plurality of endoscopic video frames (22) as the endoscope (20) is advanced to the target location with the endoscopic video frames (2) illustrating monocular endoscopic images of the anatomical region. For real-time estimation of a depth of an object within monocular endoscopic images (e.g., depth of a bronchial wall within an monocular endoscopic images of a bronchial tube), the method further involves (S41) a determination of an optical flow of one or more image points within a frame time series of the monocular endoscopic images of the anatomical region, and (S42) an estimation of a depth field indicative of a depth of the object within the monocular endoscopic images as a function of the optical flow of the image point(s).
摘要:
A robotic control method for a camera (30) having an optical view and a robot (40) having an end-effector (42) and one or more joints (41) for maneuvering end-effector (42). The robotic control method involves an acquisition of a digital video frame (32) illustrating an image as optically viewed by the camera (30), and an execution of a visual servoing for controlling a pose of end-effector (42) relative to an image feature within the digital video frame (32). The visual servoing involves an identification of a tracking vector (vtrk) within an image coordinate system (80) of the digital video frame (32) extending from a tracking point (TR) to a target point (TG) associated with the image feature, a mapping of the tracking vector within a configuration space (100) constructed from a robotic coordinate system (90) associated with the end-effector (42), and a derivation of a pose of the end-effector (42) within the robotic coordinate system (90) from the mapping of the tracking vector (vtrk) within the configuration space (100).
摘要:
A registration system and method includes a configurable device (104) having one or more moveable features (122) such that movement of the moveable features can be determined relative to a reference to define a specific configuration of the configurable device. An imaging system (110) has a display on which the configurable device is viewable. A processing device (112) is configured to register the configurable device with a coordinate system of the imaging system based on the specific configuration of the configurable device.

A robot guiding system employs a robot unit (10) and a control unit (20). The robot unit (10) includes an endoscope (12) for generating an intra-operative endoscopic image (14) of a blood vessel tree within an anatomical region, and a robot (11) for moving the endoscope (12) within the anatomical region. The control unit (20) includes an endoscope controller (22) for generating an endoscopic path within the anatomical region, wherein the endoscopic path is derived from a matching of a graphical representation of the intra-operative endoscopic image (14) of the blood vessel tree to a graphical representation of a pre-operative three-dimensional image (44) of the blood vessel tree. The control unit (20) further includes a robot controller (21) for commanding the robot (11) to move the endoscope (12) within the anatomical region in accordance with the endoscopic path.
摘要:
A real-time tracking of surgical tools relative to a pre-operative surgical plan and intra-operative images involves an image-based registration and tool tracking registration. The image-based registration implements an integration of a plurality of images of an anatomical region of a body including a pre-operative scan image (31) (e.g., a 3D CT/MRI image), an intra-operative fluoroscopic image (42) (e.g., an 2D X-ray image) and an intra- operative endoscopic image (23) (e.g., an 2D arthroscopic image). The tool tracking registration implements a representation within the pre-operative scan image (31) and/or the intra-operative fluoroscopic image (42) of a tracking of one or more surgical tools within the intra-operative endoscopic image (23).
摘要:
A pre-operative stage of a distance-based position tracking method (30) involves a generation of virtual information (21) derived from a scan image (20) illustrating an anatomical region (40) of a body during a virtual navigation of a surgical tool (51) relative to a surgical path (52) within scan image (20). The virtual information (21) includes a prediction of virtual poses of surgical tool (51) relative to surgical path (52) within scan image (20) associated with measurements of a virtual distance of surgical tool (51) from an object within scan image (20). An intra-operative stage of the method (30) involves a generation of tracking information (23) derived from measurements of a physical distance of surgical tool (51) from the object within anatomical region (40) during a physical navigation of surgical tool (51) relative to surgical path (52) within anatomical region (40). The tracking information (23) includes an estimation of poses of surgical tool (51) relative to surgical path (52) within anatomical region (40) corresponding to the prediction of virtual poses of surgical tool (51) relative to surgical path (52) within scan image (20).
摘要:
A specification for a device including a set of concentric cannulas may be discovered to have an actual path different from a desired path, due to interactions between cannulas that effect net curvature of the device. The choice of particular cannulas may be corrected by performing a calculation taking into account curvature affecting properties of the individual cannulas including radius of curvature, elasticity, and moment of inertia. This calculation is preferably performed iteratively starting with a most distal cannula and iterating through the cannulas to the proximal end, accumulating net effect of curvature affecting properties.
摘要:
A method for reconstructing a surface of a three-dimensional object involves a projection of a laser spot pattern onto the surface of the three-dimensional object by a laser, and a generation of a series of endoscopic images as an endoscope is translated and/or rotated relative to the three-dimensional object. Each endoscopic image illustrates a different view of a laser spot array within the laser spot pattern as projected onto the surface of the three-dimensional object by the laser. The laser spot array may be identical to or a subset of the laser spot pattern. The method further involves a reconstruction of the surface of the three-dimensional object from a correspondence of the different views of the laser spot array as illustrated in the endoscopic images.
