Publication number: 20240180629Abstract: Methods and systems for displaying an image of a medical procedure (e.g., an intraoperative image) with additional information (e.g., data) that can augment the image of the medical procedure are provided. Augmenting the image can include overlaying data from a first image to a second image. Overlaying the data can involve determining, for a point or multiple points in the first image, a matching location or multiple matching locations in a second image. The first image and the second image can be of a patient. Determining the matching location can involve using a rotation and scale invariant geometrical relationship. The matching locations can be used as the basis for the overlay.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2024Publication date: June 6, 2024Applicant: BEYEONICS SURGICAL LTD.Inventor: Rani BEN-YISHAI

Patent number: 11484363Abstract: System for determining a position of a tool-point-of-interest of a tool, relative to an eye-tissue-of-interest, which includes and imager a tool-tracker and a processor. The imager acquires an image of a tissue-reference-marker. The tool-tracker determines information relating to the P&O of the tool in a reference-coordinate-system. The imager and the tool-tracker are in registration with the reference-coordinate-system. The processor determines the position of the tissue-reference-marker in the reference-coordinate-system, according to the acquired image of the tissue-reference-marker. The processor determines the P&O of the eye-tissue-of-interest in the reference-coordinate-system according to at least the position of the tissue-reference-marker and a relative position between the tissue-reference-marker and the eye-tissue-of-interest. The relative position is pre-determined from a stored-3D-model.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2019Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Elbit Systems Ltd.Inventors: Ron Schneider, Abraham Zeitouny, Einav Namer Yelin, Rani Ben-Yishai
