  • Publication number: 20220366551
    Abstract: A method of fusing 2D and 3D imaging data includes receiving 3D imaging data and 2D color imaging data of a region of interest, segmenting the 3D imaging data to identify anatomical features in the region of interest, including surfaces of the anatomical features and a corresponding volume of the anatomical features, and generating an image by fusing the 2D color imaging data to the 3D imaging data according to the surfaces, the corresponding volumes, and identities of the anatomical features. In some cases, the 3D imaging data is captured via optical coherence tomography. In some cases, the 2D color imaging data is captured via color microscopy. In some cases, the method further includes rendering a final image at an output plane by casting a ray through the fused 3D imaging data for each pixel and viewpoint of the output image plane for the image.

  • Publication number: 20220240777
    Abstract: Systems and method for multiplexing and alternating light of different wavelengths in an ophthalmoscope are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, an imaging system includes an illumination system configured to generate and output light that alternates between at least two different wavelengths. The imaging system includes a multiplexer configured to receive the output light and to multiplex the light of different wavelengths onto a single optical channel. Further, the imaging system includes a scanning laser ophthalmoscope probe configured to operatively receive the multiplexed light, to apply the multiplexed light to a subject for imaging, and to receive light returning from the subject for generating an image of the subject.

  • Patent number: 11051662
    Abstract: A towel holder includes a fixing unit and a holder unit. The fixing unit includes a fixed element and a connecting element. The fixed element has a receiving surface inclined relative to the horizontal axis to form an angle therebetween. The fixed element includes a mounting portion formed in the middle thereof and detachably mounted with the connecting element. The holder unit is detachably mounted to the connecting element and includes a holder element that has a mounting surface abutting against the receiving surface, and top and bottom edges connected to the mounting surface and vertically and horizontally spaced apart from each other such that two opposite ends of the towel hung on the holder element are spaced apart from each other by a horizontal distance greater than that between the top and bottom edges.

  • Patent number: 10888389
    Abstract: Systems and methods for arbitrary viewpoint robotic manipulation and robotic surgical assistance are disclosed. According to an aspect, a system includes one or more controllers configured to receive an image dataset of an actual environment within which the robotic tool is positioned. The controller(s) are also configured to generate a virtual environment of the actual environment based on the image dataset. Further, the controller(s) can control display of the virtual environment including a virtual tool controllable by a user for use to control the robotic tool within the actual environment. The controller(s) can receive user input for altering a perspective view of display of the virtual environment from a first perspective view to a second perspective view. Further, the controller(s) can maintain orientation of display of the virtual tool with respect to the user during display of the first perspective view and the second perspective view of the virtual environment.
