Abstract:
A system, in particular for image-guided surgery, comprising: at least two display devices; a position determinator for determining the relative position of the display devices; and an image generator for generating images, which are to be displayed by the display devices, in accordance with the determined relative position.
Abstract:
Described herein is a teleoperational medical system for performing a medical procedure in a surgical field. The teleoperational system comprises an eye tracking unit and a control unit. The eye tracking unit includes an image display configured to display to a user an image of the surgical field, at least one eye tracker configured to measure data about a gaze point of the user, and a processor configured to process the data to determine a viewing location in the displayed image at which the gaze point of the user is directed. The control unit is configured to control at least one function of the teleoperational medical system based upon the determined viewing location.
Abstract:
A medical apparatus is described for providing visualization of a surgical site. The medical apparatus includes an electronic display disposed within a display housing. The medical apparatus includes a display optical system disposed within the display housing, the display optical system comprising a plurality of lens elements disposed along an optical path. The display optical system is configured to receive images from the electronic display.
Abstract:
An x-ray system comprising: at least one x-ray tube assembly; a collimator; an image detector; a monitor; means for determining the location of a Region of Interest (ROI) of a patient on said displayed image; a first controller; an image processing unit configured to modify the detected image for display on said monitor according to the image parts in said ROI; each x-ray tube assembly comprising a plurality of cathodes; and at least one anode; a second controller configured to control operating parameters of each one of said at least one x-ray tube assembly, said parameters comprising at least one collision location of electrons emitted from said plurality of cathodes on said at least one anode in reference to said collimator aperture; and means for controlling the directions of emitted x-ray beams.

Abstract:
A surgical controlling system comprising: at least one location estimating means to real-time locate the 3D spatial position of at least one surgical tool, at least one movement detection means in communication with a movement database and with the location estimating means and a controller, which controls the position of at least one surgical tool, in communication with a movement database, a control database and the movement detection means. The movement database stores the 3D spatial position of each surgical tool at the present time and at at least one previous time; a tool has moved if its present position is different from its previous position. The control database stores rules to identify a movement of a tool as either an allowed movement or a restricted movement. Examples of rules include a maximum speed rule, a virtual zoom rule, a virtual rotation of scene rule, and position of tool rule.
Abstract:
System for live 3D x-ray viewing comprising an x-ray source, an x-ray detector, a processing unit, a monitor and means for detecting viewer's eyes, wherein the x- ray source and the x-ray detector are arranged at a movable C-arm. The x-ray source comprises two focal spots, wherein a separation of the two focal spots is adjustable so that the image acquisition angle between the two focal spots matches the viewing angle between the two eyes.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods and systems for role designation with multiple sources. A method for role designation can comprise rendering a common field of interest that reflects a presence of a plurality of elements, wherein at least one of the elements is a remote element located remotely from another of the elements, receiving a role designation, and updating the common field of interest based upon the role designation.
Abstract:
A method for displaying information, including presenting on one or more monitors a plurality of distinct elements in a first spatial relationship with one another, the plurality of distinct elements being illustrative of a state of a medical procedure. The method also includes measuring gaze directions, towards the plurality of the elements, of an implementer of the medical procedure while the procedure is being performed. In response to the measured gaze directions, the plurality of distinct elements are rearranged on the one or more monitors into a second spatial relationship with one another.
