Abstract: A stereoscopic digital surgical visualization system uses multiple fixed-lens camera pairs. A scope head includes a plurality of stereoscopic camera pairs, each pair having fixed lenses and corresponding image sensors configured to capture left-eye and right-eye image data at different magnification levels without mechanical zoom components. A processing unit receives the stereoscopic image data, digitally crops and scales the imagery to generate digitally magnified stereoscopic views, and automatically transitions between camera pairs to form a continuous stereoscopic magnification sequence. A smartglasses display with left-eye and right-eye OLED micro-projectors presents the stereoscopic imagery in real time. In some embodiments, the system provides stereoscopic alignment correction, augmented-reality overlays, integrated LED illumination, impact-resistant construction, battery-powered operation, and real-time recording or streaming of stereoscopic video.

Abstract: A method for stereoscopic telestration in a 3D display system, and system therefore includes the steps of, and hardware for, aligning a telestration base plane to a reference object visible in a stereoscopic video stream; fusing a telestration overlay at the telestration base plane to ensure accurate depth alignment; and repositioning the telestration overlay to a moved telestration plane in front of or behind the telestration base plane by adjusting left and right eye overlays symmetrically. The repositioning may be performed without losing positional accuracy relative to the stereoscopic image stream.

Abstract: An adjustable stereoscopic camera system includes a first camera (210) mounted to a first mounting plate (220); and a second camera (250) mounted to a second mounting plate (260). The first mounting plate (220) is movable along a y axis in an x, y, z coordinate system and rotatable in ? and ? directions about the x and z axes where ?, ?, and ? indicate directions of rotation about the x, y, and z axes respectively.

Abstract: A breathing simulation apparatus includes a lung enclosure in fluid communication with a positive pressure valve where the lung enclosure is sealed such that fluid flow through a trachea input creates a positive pressure inside the lung enclosure that acts against simulated lungs therein. This positive pressure, during an exhale cycle, simulates an exhale. During an inhale cycle, the positive pressure is released, and the simulated lungs fill with fluid to simulate an inhale. A carbon dioxide source adds carbon dioxide to the exhalation to simulate the conversion of breathable air into carbon dioxide in the lungs.

Abstract: Portable surgical systems, methods, and kits are described. The surgical systems may include a camera configured to capture images, viewing equipment configured to receive and display the captured images, a processor, and a stand. The camera, the viewing equipment, the processor, and the stand are configured to be housed in a case. Surgery may be performed using the surgical system by retrieving surgical components from the case, assembling the retrieved surgical components into a surgical system, positioning a patient within the surgical system for surgery, configuring the surgical system, performing the surgery with the surgical system, reconfiguring the surgical system during the surgery, disassembling the surgical system after the surgery, and placing the components in the case.
