Patents by Inventor Samantha Joanne Preston

Samantha Joanne Preston has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20250005773
    Abstract: Systems and methods used to perform non-contact patient registration of images for surgical navigation are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems include a 3-D scanning device to capture spatial data of a region of interest of a patient and a reference frame. A digital mesh model is generated from the spatial data. A reference frame model is registered with the digital mesh model. Anatomical features of the digital mesh model and a patient registration model are utilized to register the digital mesh model with the patient registration model. A position of a surgical instrument is tracked relative to the reference frame and the patient registration model.

  • Publication number: 20240194306
    Abstract: Systems and methods for touchless registration using a reference frame adapter is provided. A first image of a region of a patient and a second image of the region of the patient and a reference frame adapter may be received. The reference frame adapter may be configured to selectively attach to a patient reference frame positioned near the region of the patient. The second image may be registered to the first image based on the reference frame adapter.

  • Publication number: 20230245383
    Abstract: Systems and methods used to perform touchless 3D scanning of a patient’s face in the prone position are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems include a rotatable 3D scanning device to capture 3D spatial data points of the patient’s face and a reference frame. 3D digital mesh models are generated from the 3D spatial data points. A patient 3D digital mesh model is registered with a patient 3D model and a reference frame digital mesh model is registered with a reference frame 3D model. The 3D scanning device can include a handheld rotatable 3D scanner member or a mechanically rotatable 3D scanner member.
