  • Publication number: 20240099774
    Abstract: Systems, methods and instrumentalities are described herein for automatically devising and executing a surgical plan associated with a patient in a medical environment, e.g., under the supervision of a medical professional. The surgical plan may be devised based on images of the medical environment captured by one or more sensing devices. A processing device may determine, based on all or a first subset of the images, a patient model that may indicate a location and a shape of an anatomical structure of the patient and determine, based on all or a second subset of the images, an environment model that may indicate a three-dimensional (3D) spatial layout of the medical environment. The surgical plan may be devised based on the patient model and the environment model, and may indicate at least a movement path of a medical device towards the anatomical structure of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20240074811
    Abstract: A system and method for visualizing anatomical structure of a patient during a surgery are provided. An anatomical image and a first optical image of a patient may be obtained. The anatomical image may be captured by performing a medical scan on the patient before a surgery of the patient, and the first optical image may be captured during the surgery. A target image may be generated by combining the anatomical image and the first optical image. The target image may be rendered based on a viewpoint of a target operator of the surgery. A display device may be directed to display the rendered target image.

  • Publication number: 20240070905
    Abstract: The 3D pose of a person may be estimated by triangulating 2D representations of body keypoints (e.g., joint locations) of the person. The triangulation may leverage various metrics such as confidence scores associated with the 2D representations of a keypoint and/or temporal consistency between multiple 3D representations of the keypoint. The 2D representations may be arranged into groups, a candidate 3D representation may be determined for each group, taking into account of the confidence score of each 2D representation in the group, and the candidate 3D representation that has the smallest error may be used to represent the keypoint. Other 3D representation(s) of the keypoint determined from images taken at different times may be used to refine the 3D representation of the keypoint.

  • Publication number: 20230301767
    Abstract: An organ lengthening device comprising a spring-like structure, wherein the surface of the device is covered with micron-size anchors such as hooks, studs or wires made from a biodegradable polymer. The anchors are configured to engage the surface of the organ so that the device will be anchored to the organ. The device, which is inserted into the organ in a compressed position, gradually lengthens over time, thereby lengthening the organ, wherein the anchors are configured to degrade away and eventually allow the device to become disengaged from the organ.

  • Publication number: 20230267306
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a training application generates a trained machine learning model that represents items in a spectral domain. The training application executes a first neural network on a first set of data points associated with both a first item and the spectral domain to generate a second neural network. Subsequently, the training application generates a set of predicted data points that are associated with both the first item and the spectral domain via the second neural network. The training application generates the trained machine learning model based on the first neural network, the second neural network, and the set of predicted data points. The trained machine learning model maps one or more positions within the spectral domain to one or more values associated with an item based on a set of data points associated with both the item and the spectral domain.

  • Publication number: 20230153604
    Abstract: To assist a machine learning environment in modelling a complex physical simulation (such as a numerical simulation or physics simulation), a correlation between input coordinates is determined. For example, a discrete solution (e.g., the correlation between the plurality of input coordinates) may be obtained from a non-discrete (e.g., continuous) physics space by performing a conversion from the physics space to a grid space. This correlation is input along with the coordinates into a machine learning environment to obtain results from the simulation. As a result, instead of implementing resource and power-intensive simulations to solve these computation problems, a machine learning environment implemented using less power and computing resources may solve these computation problems in a faster and more efficient manner.
