Abstract: The invention relates to a medical robot (10) comprising a motorized mobile base (13), spatial-location sensors (17) secured to the mobile base, and a control unit (16) that stores in memory an intervention plan comprising at least one action to be performed on the anatomy of interest of a patient (30). The control unit is configured to: —detect, from information coming from the spatial-location sensors (17), a position of the anatomy of interest of the patient with respect to the medical robot, —identify, from the position of the anatomy of interest of the patient and from the intervention plan, at least one favourable position of the mobile base of the medical robot for which position the medical robot is capable of performing the action or actions from the intervention plan, —move the mobile base of the medical robot into an optimal position selected from among the favourable position or positions identified.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for positioning an articulated arm of a medical robot assisted by a navigation system comprising an electromagnetic field generator and two sensors. The generated field forms a measurement zone in which the position of a sensor can be determined by the navigation system and communicated to the robot. A first sensor is positioned at an anatomical location of interest of a patient. A second sensor is positioned on the articulated arm. When the two sensors are located in the measurement zone, a so-called “region of reduced influence” of the measurement zone is determined, in which the introduction of a metal object has virtually no influence on the determination of the position of the sensors by the navigation system. The articulated arm is then configured so that any metal part of the articulated arm located in the measurement zone is situated within the region of reduced influence.

Abstract: A method is providedfor automatically generating a mode of presentation for data collected and produced during an imaging examination for which an examination report is done by an operator in charge of said examination, including: analyzing contextual information related to examination, analyzing data contained in the examination report, eliciting and producing relevant information from and within the collected and produced data, based on results of the contextual information analysis and of the report data analysis, and displaying the relevant information, in a simplified multi-dimensional manner as an interactive visual imaging report. Contextual information includes information on the behavior of the operator while achieving and reporting the examination. Interactive Visual Imaging Reports (IVIR) are automatically generated, as computed multi-dimensional and multi-scale objects, from native images and information collected during the image acquisition and interpretation process.
