  • Methods and devices for interleaved surgical imaging
    Patent number: 11903774
    Abstract: Systems and methods for receiving data characterizing a plurality of images of a surgical region that includes a first target tissue. The plurality of images include a plurality images associated with visible light images, a plurality of images associated with a first wavelength and a plurality of images associated with the second wavelength that is different from the first wavelength. The method also includes generating a first scene by at least overlaying a first set of images of the plurality of images. The first set of images are temporally contiguous and include a first image associated with the first wavelength, a second image associated with visible light, and a third image associated with the second wavelength. The image further includes generating a second scene by at least overlaying a second set of images of the plurality of images. The second set of images are temporally contiguous.

    Date of Patent: February 20, 2024
    Assignee: Cilag GmbH International
    Inventors: Tarik Yardibi, Emir Osmanagic, Patrick J. Treado, Rick Beideman, Matthew P. Nelson, Preston Manwaring
  • Concealed substance detection with hyperspectral imaging
    Patent number: 11741595
    Abstract: A drug screening system and methods of using the same are disclosed. The drug screening system identifies and highlights drugs or other contraband substances enclosed within mailpieces based on score imagery computed from selected wavelengths based on chemical signatures. A wide-field, multispectral short-wave infrared imaging system allows for dissolved, concealed drug screening of mailpieces that improve inspection efficiency and accuracy.
