Abstract:
A surgical image capture and display system includes a handheld image capture and pointing device and a display assembly. An image is captured by an image sensor of the handheld device and displayed on the display assembly. The image sensor detects light emitted by one or more beacons of the display assembly. The system determines, based on the light emitted by the one or more beacons, a position or orientation of the handheld device relative to the display assembly. The system updates display of a graphical user interface comprising the image on the display assembly in accordance with the determined position or orientation of the handheld device.
Abstract:
A surgical system for providing an improved video image of a surgical site including a system controller that receives and processes video images to determine a video signature corresponding to a condition that interferes with a quality of the video images, with the system controller interacting with a video enhancer to enhance the video images from a video capturing device to automatically control the video enhancer to enhance the video images. The surgical system can also review the video images for a trigger event and automatically begin or stop recording of the video images upon occurrence of the trigger event.
Abstract:
A system for displaying medical imaging data comprising one or more data inputs, one or more processors, and one or more displays, wherein the one or more data inputs are configured for receiving first image data generated by a first medical imaging device, wherein the first image data comprises a field of view (FOV) portion and a non-FOV portion, and the one or more processors are configured for identifying the non-FOV portion of the first image data and generating cropped first image data by removing at least a portion of the non-FOV portion of the first image data, and transmitting the cropped first image data for display in a first portion of the display and additional information for display in a second portion of the display.
Abstract:
A wireless operating room communication system provides wireless transmission of video signals from a wireless camera or a wireless transmitter unit to a portable wireless display unit. A wireless multiple device control unit is in wireless communication with the transmitter unit, the display unit, and a plurality of surgical devices disposed within the operating room. Each of the surgical devices has a video receiver to obtain a video signal to synchronize the devices and units. The video transmitter unit has a video transmitter and the other units or devices have a non-video transmitter. The arrangement enables transmission of device control signals on the same channel as the video signal. In response to changes in bandwidth, the video transmitter unit reduces the video signal to enable transmission thereof to the video display unit, while maintaining robustness of the control signals.
