  • Publication number: 20250331945
    Abstract: The subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for receiving user input that selects an arrangement of surgical instrument trays for use during a surgical procedure. A display device presents a graphical representation of the selected arrangement of surgical instrument trays. A computing system receives image data depicting multiple actual surgical instrument trays; and analyzes the image data to determine an extent to which the multiple actual surgical instrument trays and actual surgical instruments located on the trays match the selected arrangement of surgical instrument trays. The display device presents a graphical indication of the extent to which the multiple actual surgical instrument trays match the selected arrangement of surgical instrument trays.
