Abstract: A user interface for a surgical system is configured to proceed through a plurality of modes and display a current mode among the plurality of modes. Each of the plurality of modes is associated with one or more sub-modes, and the user interface is configured to proceed through the plurality of modes and the plurality of sub-modes in sequence. The user interface is configured to automatically generate an image from an image source for each of the modes and sub-modes and overlay one or more markers on the image along with instructions to the user. The user interface is configured to provide a control panel comprising plurality of frequently used user inputs below a centerline of a display for ergonomics, and to highlight a current mode of the sequence on a display relative to the other modes to show progression through the sequence of modes.

Abstract: A user interface comprising a touch screen display can be placed above a patient. An arm allows a user to place the user interface above the patient and provide inputs related to treatment. The arm is configured to place the display above the patient in relation to a probe inserted into the patient and view an image shown on the display, which can facilitate movement of the probes in response to the image shown on the display. The probe is located below the display, and the user is able to reach and adjust the probes while viewing images on the display. The user interface is configured with an image display area and a control panel, in which the control panel is located below the image display area, which allows the user to readily provide inputs to user interface while viewing the display and manipulating the one or more probes.
