Publication number: 20230380908Abstract: Tools used within a surgical area may be equipped with sensors that allow them to be tracked within the magnetic field of an image guided surgery (IGS) system. The IGS system may be configured to detect various movement patterns of the tools, which may be mapped to and associated with corresponding actions or inputs to the IGS system. In one example, a registration probe may be moved along the x-axis and y-axis, with detected movements identified and received by the IGS system as movements of a mouse cursor on a display of the IGS system. In another example, the registration probe may be moved in a circular pattern, or quickly moved along any of the x-axis, y-axis, or z-axis, with each being configured to cause the IGS system to zoom a display, change a view, record video, or other actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Jetmir Palushi, Itzhak Fang, Noam Racheli, Oleg Dulger, Itamar Bustan

Publication number: 20230259248Abstract: A virtual endoscopic view shows a surgical area and surrounding anatomy and may also show a position of a surgical instrument in use during a surgical procedure, allowing a surgeon to virtually view the surgical area when direct viewing or actual endoscopic views are incomplete, obstructed, or otherwise unavailable or undesirable. In order to render the endoscopic view, an IGS navigation system may be configured with an observer point and an observer orientation within 3-D space based upon user inputs. A user interface for defining these points allows a user to view a virtual endoscopic preview in real-time while providing inputs, thus improving the likelihood that the resulting virtual endoscopic view is as desired by the user; and reducing time spent redefining and reconfiguring the virtual endoscopic view. The virtual endoscopic preview may provide combinations of static and dynamic images to illustrate the spatial relationship of the provided inputs.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Jetmir Palushi, Henry F. Salazar, Jordan R. Trott, Moran Levi, Itamar Bustan, Yoav Pinsky, Noam Racheli, Athanasios Papadakis

Patent number: 11666352Abstract: Apparatus, including a probe having a distal end insertable into a nasal sinus of a human patient, and a location sensor positioned within the distal end. A sinuplasty balloon is positioned on the distal end at a selected opening of the nasal sinus. A processor receives first signals from the location sensor while the distal end is inserted into the nasal sinus and prior to positioning of the balloon at the selected opening, and generates a first map of the sinus. The processor inflates the balloon when it is at the selected opening, so as to enlarge the selected opening, and subsequently deflates the balloon. The processor then receives second signals from the location sensor and generates therefrom a second map of the sinus. The processor registers the first map with the second map and generates from the registered maps a numerical increase in size of the selected opening.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Biosense Webster (Israel) Ltd.Inventors: Zvi Dekel, Akram Zoabi, Yoav Pinsky, Noam Racheli, Itamar Bustan

Patent number: 11504023Abstract: A calibration method includes receiving magnetic field values, which are generated by a plurality of real magnetic transmitters and are measured at multiple positions on a grid in a region containing a magnetic field perturbing element. Approximate locations of the real magnetic transmitters are received. Using the approximate locations, a respective plurality of imaginary magnetic sources is characterized inside the field perturbing element. Using the measured magnetic field values, the approximate locations, and the characterized imaginary sources, there are iteratively calculated (i) actual locations of the real and imaginary magnetic sources in the region, and (ii) modeled magnetic field values that would result from the real and imaginary magnetic sources at the actual locations. Using the calculated locations, and the modeled magnetic field values at the multiple positions on the grid, a magnetic field calibration function is derived for the region.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Biosense Webster (Israel) Ltd.Inventors: Helen Wolfson, Avram Dan Montag, Meir Bar-Tal, Yoav Pinsky, Noam Racheli

Publication number: 20210315636Abstract: A virtual camera may be positioned relative to a 3-D model of a patient anatomy in order to provide a virtual camera view of the surrounding anatomy and tracked surgical instruments being deployed to the anatomy. Visual context provided by the virtual camera may be limited in some cases, such as where a surgical instrument is being used within a very narrow anatomical passageway or cavity. To provide more placement flexibility, an IGS system providing a virtual camera receives inputs defining variable visual characteristics for different segments or regions of the 3-D model, which may include hiding certain segments or making certain segments semi-transparent. With such a system, the view of the 3-D model provided by the virtual camera view may be modified to remove or deemphasize less relevant segments, to display or emphasize more relevant segments (e.g., critical patient anatomy), or both.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2021Publication date: October 14, 2021Inventors: Fatemeh Akbarian, Athanasios Papadakis, Jordan R.

Patent number: 11123144Abstract: Apparatus, including a patient tracker, attached to a subject, having magnetic field sensors and optical landmarks with known spatial relationships to each other. A camera acquires a 3D optical image, in a first frame of reference (FOR), of the subject's face. A magnetic radiator assembly generates magnetic fields at the subject's head, thereby defining a second FOR. A processor: processes field sensor signals to acquire location coordinates of the sensors in the second FOR; segments a tomographic image of the subject, having a third FOR, to identify the subject's face in the third FOR; computes a first transformation between the third and first FORs to map the tomographic face image to the 3D optical image; maps the optical landmarks to the third FOR; maps the respective location coordinates of the sensors to the first FOR; and computes a second transformation between the second FOR and the third FOR.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2020Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignees: Biosense Webster (Israel) Ltd., Acclarent, Inc.Inventors: Itamar Bustan, Ehsan Shameli, Moran Levi, Itzhak Fang, Uriel Hod, Babak Ebrahimi, Yoav Pinsky, Fatemeh Akbarian, Noam Racheli

Publication number: 20210121238Abstract: A visualization system may be implemented with an image guided surgery navigation system for use during ENT procedures. Correlated datasets such as surgical paths and pre-operative image slices may be correlated with the coordinate system of the navigation system for reference during a procedure. A surgeon may wear a head mounted display (“HMD”) having a transparent screen through which the patient anatomy may be viewed. The orientation and distance of the head mounted display relative to the patient anatomy may be determined using magnetic position tracking, image analysis of images captured by a camera of the HMD, or both. Correlated datasets may then be transformed based on the relative distance and orientation and may be displayed via the transparent screen to overlay directly viewed patient anatomy. Some implementations may include optical fiducials integrated with a patient tracking assembly to aid in tracking the patient and determining perspective of the HMD.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2020Publication date: April 29, 2021Inventors: Jetmir Palushi, Itamar Bustan, Noam Racheli, Itzhak Fang, Athanasios Papadakis, Vadim Gliner
