Abstract: A teleoperated surgical system is provided comprising: a first robotic surgical instrument; an image capture; a user display; a user input command device coupled to receive user input commands to control movement of the first robotic surgical instrument; and a movement controller coupled to scale a rate of movement of the first robotic surgical instrument, based at least in part upon a surgical skill level at using the first robotic surgical instrument of the user providing the received user input commands, from a rate of movement indicated by the user input commands received at the user input command device.

Abstract: A computer-assisted surgical system simultaneously provides visible light and alternate modality images that identify tissue or increase the visual salience of features of clinical interest that a surgeon normally uses when performing a surgical intervention using the computer-assisted surgical system. Hyperspectral light from tissue of interest is used to safely and efficiently image that tissue even though the tissue may be obscured in the normal visible image of the surgical field. The combination of visible and hyperspectral images are analyzed to provide details and information concerning the tissue or other bodily function that were not previously available.

Abstract: Porphyrazines capable of localizing in a tumor of a mammal are disclosed. The porphyrazines are used in methods of imaging a tumor and in methods of treating tumors, either alone or in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation.

Abstract: Porphyrazine compounds having moieties substituted at the eight peripheral .beta.-pyrrole positions are disclosed. The porphyrazine compounds have the general structural formula: ##STR1## wherein M is H.sub.2 or a metal capable of complexing with the pyrrole nitrogen atoms, and A, B, C, and D are independently selected from the group consisting of a thio moiety, an amino moiety, an oxo moiety, a phospho moiety, a seleno moiety, a telluro moiety and a noncoordinating moiety, like a hydrocarbon moiety, with the proviso that not all of A, B, C, and D are a thio moiety and that not all of A, B, C, and D are a hydrocarbon moiety. The porphyrazine compounds, depending on the identity of A, B, C, and D, are capable of complexing one to four metal ions to the periphery of the porphyrazine to form a multimetallic porphyrazine. Multimetallic porphyrazine compounds can be linked peripherally to form a linear, i.e., ribbon, polymer or a two-dimension, i.e., sheet polymer.
