    Abstract: A tool for cleaning a vertebral disc includes an elongated hollow shaft including a proximal end and a distal end; a first drum rotatably disposed in a housing secured to the proximal end of the shaft, the first drum having a first axis; a second drum rotatably disposed proximate the distal end of the shaft, the second drum having a second axis parallel to the first axis; and a belt extending through the hollow shaft and operatively coupled to the first drum and the second drum, the belt comprising a plurality of teeth configured to cut anatomical tissue, each tooth of the plurality of teeth remaining flush with an outer surface of the belt when a section of the belt comprising the tooth is substantially straight, and projecting beyond the outer surface when the section of the belt bends around the first drum or the second drum.

    Abstract: A method for verifying surgical tool placement includes attaching a guide sleeve to a surgical robot, the guide sleeve defining a guide sleeve axis; aligning the surgical robot such that the guide sleeve axis is directed at a predetermined target location; and attaching an aiming rod to the guide sleeve such that the aiming rod can rotate around the guide sleeve axis, the aiming rod having apertures along its length. The aiming rod is attached to the guide sleeve at an angle and position such that when the surgical robot is adjusted to align the guide sleeve axis with the predetermined target location, a center of each aperture of the apertures of the aiming rod and a center of the predetermined target location are collinear, independent of a rotational position of the aiming rod around the guide sleeve axis.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for generating a corrected image are provided. A first robotic arm may be configured to orient a source at a first pose and a second robotic arm may be configured to orient a detector at a plurality of second poses. An image dataset may be received from the detector at each of the plurality of second poses to yield a plurality of image datasets. The plurality of datasets may comprise an initial image having a scatter effect. The plurality of image datasets may be saved. A scatter correction may be determined and configured to correct the scatter effect. The correction may be applied to the initial image to correct the scatter effect.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for changing an end effector are provided. A robot flange may have a first receiver and a first electrical connection. An end effector may have a second receiver, a second electrical connection, and a locking assembly. The locking assembly may be configured to releasably secure the end effector to the robot flange. A connector may have an interface and an electrical connector for transferring at least one of power and data from the first electrical connection to the second electrical connection. The interface may be received by the first receiver and the second receiver when the connector is positioned between the robot flange and the end effector and the locking assembly secures the end effector to the robot flange.

    Abstract: A method for planning the insertion of bone cement into an orthopedic void of a vertebra. A three dimensional preoperative image of the vertebra is used and the voxels are analyzed to provide the voxel absorption levels. The absorption levels are transformed into mechanical properties of regions of the vertebra, such that a three dimensional mesh of the mechanical properties of the vertebra is generated. An entry point and an entry angle are selected on the vertebra, through which to inject bone cement into the void. Then, using the known viscosity of the bone cement, and using the entry point and entry angle, a finite elements analysis may be performed on the mesh to simulate the propagation of the bone cement into the orthopedic void. The simulation is repeated using different operational parameters until said propagation of said bone cement is deemed satisfactory.
