    Abstract: In a method and an apparatus to provide updated images during a robotically-implemented surgical procedure, 3D data is obtained of a volume of a patient, which includes anatomy involved in the procedure. The anatomy is segmented from a reconstructed image of the volume. During the procedure, the surgeon applies forces on the anatomy, causing a geometric change of the anatomy. Force sensors in the surgical robot detect these forces, which are supplied to a processor that controls display of the segmented anatomy at a display screen. From the applied forces and the physical properties of the anatomy, the processor calculates the geometric change of the anatomy that has occurred and modifies the appearance and/or position of the displayed segmented anatomy on the display screen in real time during the procedure, so as to visualize the geometric change.

    Abstract: A system and method for an articulated arm stabilization includes an arm stabilizer for use with articulated arms of a computer-assisted medical device. The stabilizer includes a spine, a first vibration absorbing mount attached to the spine, a second vibration absorbing mount attached to the spine, a first clamp attached to the first vibration absorbing mount, and a second clamp attached to the second vibration absorbing mount. The first clamp is adapted to hold a first attachment point of a first articulated arm without slipping. The second clamp is adapted to hold a second attachment point of a second articulated arm without slipping. In some embodiments, the arm stabilizer stabilizes and reduces vibration in the first and second articulated arms. In some embodiments, the vibration is in a range from 0.5 to 14 Hz. In some embodiments, the spine limits relative motion between the first clamp and the second clamp.

    Abstract: A system and method of logging and replay among heterogeneous devices includes one or more shared services including a replay service, a processor for executing the shared services, and a shared interface for providing access to the shared services. The replay service selects one or more logs for playback, emulates one or more playback devices, each of the playback devices being associated with a respective one of the logs, extracts one or more log entries from each of the logs, recreates one or more recreated service requests for the one or more shared services based on information associated with each of the log entries, and initiates the recreated service requests. In some embodiments, the system and method further include a logging service to create new log entries based on new service requests, associate the new log entries with a corresponding timestamp, and record the new log entries.

    Abstract: A system and method of coordinated motion among heterogeneous devices includes a medical device with one or more movable elements and one or more processors. Any of the processors uses a shared interface to access services. The medical device requests a movement token from a token service through the shared interface, receive the movement token from the token service, exchange configuration data, kinematic data, or planned motion data through the shared interface, plan a first motion for a first movable element of the movable elements based on the movement token and the configuration data, the kinematic data, or the planned motion data, and execute the first motion. In some embodiments, the movement token is selected from a group consisting of an exclusive-motion token, a master follow-me token, a slave follow-me token, a master collision-avoidance token, a slave collision-avoidance token, and a passive collision-avoidance token.

    Abstract: A method of controlling a medical tool includes determining an insertion path and pose for the tool based on a target and deploying first and second articulated arms of a computer-assisted medical device based on a size and shape of a tool guide. The arms include respective pluralities of moveable links actuated by at least one respective actuator and forming respective kinematic chains extending from a base. The method further includes receiving the tool guide for coupling with the arms using respective mounting arms of the tool guide such that the tool guide functions as a link in a closed kinematic loop formed by joining the kinematic chains, orienting a guide hole of the tool guide to align with the insertion path, positioning the guide hole a desired distance away from the target, receiving the tool in the guide hole, and advancing the tool along the insertion path.

    Abstract: A composite medical imaging system may direct a display device to display an image captured by an imaging device and showing a view of a surgical area and display an augmentation region within the image and that shows supplemental content. The view of the surgical area shows surface anatomy located at the surgical area and an object located at the surgical area. The augmentation region creates an occlusion over at least a portion of the view of the surgical area. The system may detect an overlap in the image between at least a portion of the object and at least a portion of the augmentation region. In response to the detection of the overlap, the system may adjust the image to decrease an extent of the occlusion within the overlap by the augmentation region.
