Abstract: System and method for projecting audio signals to an operator of a teleoperational surgical system to convey spatial orientation associated with the audio signals to the operator. Characteristics of the audio signals such as direction and volume may be selected to give the impression that the remote operator is positioned locally next to the patient. Characteristics of the audio signals may also be modified to provide spatial translations between actual locations of audio sources within a physical audio environment and simulations locations of the audio sources with a virtual audio environment.

Abstract: A first ultrasonic beacon transmission includes a first pilot signal and a first encoded information signal. An apparatus may detect the first pilot signal and decode, based on the first pilot signal, the first encoded information signal to identify a medical system associated with the first ultrasonic beacon transmission. Based on the first encoded information signal, the apparatus may enter into a first pairing state in which the apparatus is communicatively paired with the medical system. While the apparatus is operating in the first pairing state and within a threshold time of entering the first pairing state, the apparatus may detect a second pilot signal included in a second ultrasonic beacon transmission, which also includes a second encoded information signal. Based on the detection of the second pilot signal within the threshold time, the apparatus may continue operating in the first pairing state without decoding the second encoded information signal.

Abstract: A method is provided to model a 3D structure comprising: producing a surface mesh representation of the 3D structure; producing a volume mesh representation of the 3D structure based upon the surface mesh; sorting vertices of the volume mesh into a first sub-list that includes only surface vertices and a second sub-list that includes only internal vertices; applying shading to the surface mesh by accessing only surface vertices in the first sub-list; determining deformation of the volume mesh by accessing both surface vertices in the first sub-list and internal vertices in the second sub-list.

Abstract: An illustrative system may be configured to obtain a visual image of an anatomical scene that includes an imaging probe and to augment the visual image with a synthetic element that indicates, within the visual image, an area of the anatomical scene being imaged by the imaging probe. The synthetic element may include spatial markers. The visualization system may be further configured to direct a display device to display the augmented image. The visualization system may be further configured to direct the display device to display, at a position outside of the synthetic element, a probe image captured by the imaging probe.

Abstract: An exemplary system is configured to detect user input directing a telestration element to be drawn within an image depicting a surface within a scene; render, based on depth data representative of a depth map for the scene and within a three dimensional (3D) image depicting the surface within the scene, the telestration element; record a 3D position within the scene at which the telestration element is rendered within the 3D image; detect a telestration termination event that removes the telestration element from being rendered within the 3D image; and indicate, subsequent to the telestration termination event, an option to again render the telestration element at the 3D position.

Abstract: An exemplary system includes a memory storing instructions and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor may be configured to execute the instructions to: detect an intent of a user of a computer-assisted surgical system to use a robotic instrument attached to the computer-assisted surgical system to interact with a target object while the target object is located in a surgical space; determine a pose of the target object in the surgical space; and perform, based on the detected intent of the user to interact with the target object and the determined pose of the target object in the surgical space, an operation with respect to the target object.

Abstract: An exemplary system accesses imagery of a surgical space captured by different imaging modalities and, based on the accessed imagery, generates composite imagery that includes integrated representations of the surgical space as captured by the different imaging modalities. An exemplary composite image includes a representation of the surgical space as captured by a first imaging modality augmented with an integrated representation of the surgical space as captured by a second imaging modality. The integrated representation of the surgical space as captured by the second imaging modality may be selectively movable and may be generated based on first imagery of the surgical space captured by the first imaging modality and second imagery of the surgical space captured by the second imaging modality in a manner that provides a visually realistic appearance of depth.

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.
