  • URETEROSCOPY IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20240296658
    Abstract: This disclosure teaches multi-classification of endoscopic imaging using a segmentation neural network. The network is trained on imaging data using a novel loss function with components of both focal and boundary loss. During a lithotripsy procedure, images are received by a deployed endoscopic probe. Based on the received imaging data and inference data from its prior learning, the segmentation neural network identifies renal calculi and surgical instruments within the imaging data. The imaging data is modified and displayed to assist the lithotripsy procedure.

  • URETEROSCOPY IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20240277209
    Abstract: This disclosure teaches determining a renal calculus size based on calibration data generated from an endoscopic imager. During a lithotripsy procedure, images are received by a deployed endoscopic probe. Based on the received imaging data, the generated calibration data, and known properties of the endoscopic probe, one or more renal calculi in the images are identified and sized. The determined size values are displayed with the images of the renal calculi.
