Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining a position of a surgical tool. Exemplary embodiments can comprise a surgical port, a reference marker, and a camera mounted to a proximal end of the surgical port and configured to capture image data associated with the reference marker.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for monitoring medical procedures. Particular embodiment's relate to monitoring medical procedures performed in operating room environments through the use of various types of sensors, including for example, wireless electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring systems. Presented are systems and methods directed to a monitor medical procedures, including in particular the mental state of medical personnel associated with such procedures. Exemplary embodiment's of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for monitoring medical procedures. Particular embodiment's relate to monitoring medical procedures performed in operating room environments through the use of various types of sensors, including for example, wireless electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring systems.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for tracking a surgical tool. Exemplary embodiments can comprise a surgical port, a tracking element configured for coupling to a surgical tool, and a camera mounted to a proximal end of the surgical port and configured to capture image data associated with the tracking element.
Abstract:
Apparatus for determining the orientation of an endoscope relative to gravity, the apparatus comprising: a cap sized for mounting to the endoscope, the cap having a lumen extending therethrough; a circular channel disposed about the lumen; and at least one visually-discernable object movably disposed in the circular channel so that the at least one visually-discernable object automatically aligns itself with gravity; such that when the cap is mounted to the endoscope, the position of the at least one visually-discernable object is visible to the user when viewing through the endoscope.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for real time laparoscopic navigation. Exemplary embodiments can comprise scanning a structure of interest internal to a patient to provide image data; generating a first three-dimensional reconstruction of the structure of interest based on the image data; annotating the first three-dimensional reconstruction of the structure of interest with a plurality of reference points; obtaining spatial coordinates of the plurality of reference points during a laparoscopic procedure; and generating a second three-dimensional reconstruction of the structure of interest based on the spatial coordinates.
