  • Publication number: 20260137481
    Abstract: A system is configured to determine, based on data received from an active imaging device configured to capture imagery of an internal view of a body, a depth, relative to the active imaging device, of an anatomical surface depicted in the imagery captured by the active imaging device of the internal view of the body, determine a spatial pose of the active imaging device as the active imaging device captures the imagery of the internal view of the body, and based on the spatial pose of the active imaging device, direct a display device to display, together with an external view of the body, a shape overlay indicative of an extent of a field of view relative to the body and indicative of the depth of the anatomical surface.

  • Publication number: 20260141654
    Abstract: A method includes detecting, during performance of an operation with respect to a body while an active imaging device captures images of an internal view of the body, an operation condition associated with the operation, the operation condition comprising an initiation of a moving process that involves the active imaging device being removed from within the body; and directing a display device to display a shape overlay at a static position with respect to the body together with an external view of the body as captured by an external image capture device positioned external to the body.

  • Patent number: 12555337
    Abstract: A computer-assisted system includes a manipulator arm coupled to an active imaging device and one or more processors configured to perform a process comprising: automatically directing a display device to display a shape overlay overlaid with an external view of a body, wherein the shape overlay is indicative of an extent of a field of view of the active imaging device relative to the body, and automatically directing the display device to display an auxiliary shape overlay overlaid with the external view of the body, wherein the auxiliary shape overlay is indicative of an extent of a potential field of view of the active imaging device relative to the body, the potential field of view distinct from the field of view.

  • Patent number: 12544180
    Abstract: A mixed reality presentation system determines a device-specific parameter characterizing an extent of a field of view of an active imaging device. The active imaging device captures imagery of an internal view of a body, and the determining of the device-specific parameter is based on data received from the active imaging device. The mixed reality presentation system also determines a spatial pose of the active imaging device as the active imaging device captures the imagery of the internal view of the body. Based on the device-specific parameter and the spatial pose of the active imaging device, the mixed reality presentation system directs a display device to display a shape overlay indicative of the extent of the field of view relative to the body. The shape overlay is displayed together with an external view of the body in a mixed reality presentation. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 12008721
    Abstract: A mixed reality presentation system identifies an operating condition associated with an operation performed on a body while an active imaging device captures imagery of an internal view of the body. The mixed reality presentation system also determines, based on the identified operating condition, that a display device is to toggle a display of a shape overlay that is displayed together with an external view of the body and that is indicative of an extent of a field of view of the active imaging device relative to the body. Based on the determining that the display device is to toggle the display of the shape overlay, the mixed reality presentation system directs the display device to toggle the display of the shape overlay. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.
