  • Patent number: 11850004
    Abstract: A system and method for performing a teleoperational medical procedure is provided. In an example, a medical system includes an imaging instrument, a processor coupled to the imaging instrument, and a non-transitory computer memory coupled to the processor. The non-transitory computer memory stores machine-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to: receive, from the imaging instrument, an image of a patient anatomy, wherein the patient anatomy includes a tissue within a tissue bed; receive an ex vivo model of the tissue after removal of the tissue from the tissue bed; and determine an arrangement of the tissue in the tissue bed from the ex vivo model and the image of the patient anatomy.

  • Publication number: 20220096185
    Abstract: A medical system comprises an eye tracking unit which includes an image display, an eye tracker, and a processor. The image display is configured to display to a user an image of a surgical field. The eye tracker is configured to measure data corresponding to eye gaze dynamics of the user during a procedure. The processor configured to assess a stress or fatigue level of the user based on the measured data. A corresponding method includes displaying an image of a surgical field on an image display, measuring a gaze point of a user during a procedure with an eye tracker, measuring data corresponding to eye gaze dynamics of the user during the procedure, and assessing a stress or fatigue level of the user based on the measured data.

  • Patent number: 11147640
    Abstract: A medical system comprises an eye tracking unit. The eye tracking unit includes an image display configured to display to a user an image of a surgical field and an eye tracker configured to measure data about a gaze point of the user during a procedure. The eye tracking unit also includes a processor configured to process the data to determine an evaluation factor based on movement of the gaze point of the user during the procedure and compare the evaluation factor to baseline gaze point data.

  • Patent number: 10842575
    Abstract: A medical robotic system comprises a memory for receiving intraoperative external image data for at least a portion of a patient anatomy. The portion of the patient anatomy includes a target anatomy, and the intraoperative external image data includes image data for the target anatomy and for an effect of a substance on the target anatomy. The system further includes a processor configured for at least semi-automatically controlling a medical instrument of the medical robotic system based on the intraoperative external image data to deliver the substance to the target anatomy through the medical instrument. The processor is further configured for determining the effect of the substance on the target anatomy. The processor is further configured for, using the determined effect, adjusting a control parameter for delivering the substance to the target anatomy.

  • Patent number: 10278782
    Abstract: Described herein is a teleoperational medical system for performing a medical procedure in a surgical field. The teleoperational system comprises an eye tracking unit and a control unit. The eye tracking unit includes an image display configured to display to a user an image of the surgical field, at least one eye tracker configured to measure data about a gaze point of the user, and a processor configured to process the data to determine a viewing location in the displayed image at which the gaze point of the user is directed. The control unit is configured to control at least one function of the teleoperational medical system based upon the determined viewing location.
