Publication number: 20220133284Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a guidance and tracking system that facilitate templated and targeted biopsy and/or treatment. A guidance and tracking system may include a catheter having a six-degree-of-freedom magnetic tracking sensor, where the catheter can be positioned and anchored in an organ or a natural passage of an organ such as the urethral passage in the prostate of a patient. Using tracking sensors, a computing device may be employed to track a location and orientation of an organ and medical instruments during a treatment or diagnostic procedure. The computing device may determine a position and orientation of the medical instrument relative to the organ of interest.

Publication number: 20210343186Abstract: Techniques and systems are described for providing modularity, tracking and simulation features of a mixed reality simulator. A modular approach to tracking systems, tracked instruments, and interchangeable modular physical models is described. Enhanced indicators and indicator interfaces improve imaging probe and instrument orientation and alignment with respect to a physical target, including but not necessarily within a combined physical and virtual system; these include anisotropy indicators, indicators of alignment in both in-plane and out-of-plane ultrasound or other imaging techniques, and perpendicularity indicators for better placement of probes and instruments over curved surfaces. A universal needle hub is described that integrates tracking system components and simulation feedback components usably with varying needle types.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2021Publication date: November 4, 2021Inventors: Samsun LAMPOTANG, David Erik Lizdas, Barys Valerievich Ihnatsenka

Publication number: 20200297967Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods and devices for improved drainage systems and tubing. In one embodiment, a context-sensitive flow interrupter is provided that inhibits or facilitates flow of fluid when engaged with a mating holder. In another embodiment, outflow is optimized through control of the pressure in gas pockets in a tube, drainage tube or assembly. In one such embodiment, gas pockets are vented to inhibit excessive back-pressure or suction on an organ, vessel or cavity being drained. In another such embodiment, loops in the tubes are avoided by using a mechanical template in the form of a groove or peg assembly to thread the slack in the drainage tube to generate a monotonic gradient. In another embodiment, such as for active drainage systems, a bypass channel is provided that allows an applied vacuum to go around an obstruction created by the collection of fluid in an undrained dependent loop.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2020Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventors: Samsun Lampotang, Nikolaus Gravenstein, Wilhelm K. Schwab, David E. Lizdas, Francesca K. Enneking

Publication number: 20180140381Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for guiding the placement of orthodontic brackets are provided. The system can include an at least one indexing tool designed to conform to at least a portion of a patient's teeth or alveolar process. The system can receive signals from a sensor at the indexing tool as well as signals from a sensor at a bracket positioning tool in order to track spatial location—and/or orientation of one or more brackets relative to the surface of the patient's actual or modeled teeth. A method for guiding the placement of orthodontic brackets involves detecting the location and/or orientation of a bracket with respect to at least one tooth of a patient and notifying the orthodontist that the actual bracket position and/or orientation meets specified criteria with respect to planned placement coordinates for the bracket. The method can further include collecting the planned placement coordinates for each bracket tooth combo during a planning phase.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2016Publication date: May 24, 2018Inventors: NIKOLAUS GRAVENSTEIN, CALOGERO DOLCE, SAMSUN LAMPOTANG, DAVID ERIK LIZDAS
