  • Patent number: 12245826
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for automated disease detection using multiple-wavelength imaging are disclosed. The disclosed system uses multiple imaging modalities for assessing a medical condition. Data collected from multiple cameras and imaging modalities is processed to identify common structures. The common structures are used to scale and align images, which are analyzed to detect one or more medical conditions. Each acquired image is assessed, and the resulting probabilities are consolidated. The images can be assessed together by using artificial intelligence and machine learning.

  • Patent number: 12245822
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for autonomous surgical robot evolution and handoff for manual operation are disclosed. A robotic surgical system performs surgery and is controlled jointly by an artificial intelligence (AI) and a surgeon. The surgeon can perform the entire surgery or can alternatively allow the AI to control the surgical robot to perform a part of or the entirety of the surgery. The AI is trained using data from previous surgeries, can provide indication to the surgeon when it has been sufficient trained to take over parts of a surgery, and can prompt the surgeon when there is insufficient training data for the AI to continue. Alternatively, a supervising surgeon can manually take back control of the surgical robot from the AI.

  • Patent number: 12245835
    Abstract: Haptic feedback from a robotic surgical tool can be adjusted based on intra-operative assessment of the accuracy of a pre-operative surgical navigational plans. Navigational reference points are identified in at least one pre-operative image. At least one haptic response is identified for interactions between at least one robotic surgical tool and at least one navigational reference point. At least one intra-operative image is compared to the pre-operative image to determine the relative position of at least two corresponding navigational reference points in the images. The reference points' relative position determines a confidence level in the accuracy of the pre-operative navigational reference point. The haptic response is adjusted in timing, location, type, or amplitude based upon the confidence level. Tolerances and surgical navigation plan may also be updated and altered based on the confidence level.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for performing robotic joint arthroscopic surgery are disclosed. The disclosed systems use a surgical robot to perform robotic joint arthroscopic surgery for soft tissue. The disclosed systems enable a surgeon or physician to perform a virtual surgical procedure in a virtual environment, storing robotic movements, workflow objects, user inputs, or a description of tools used. The surgical robot filters the stored data to determine a surgical workflow from the stored data. The surgical robot displays information describing a surgical step in the surgical workflow, enabling the surgeon or physician to optionally adjust the surgical workflow. The surgical robot stores the optional adjustments and performs the surgical procedure on a patient by executing surgical actions of the surgical workflow.

  • Patent number: 12201369
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for performing robotic surgery in an extended-reality (XR) surgical simulation environment are disclosed. The disclosed systems provide a surgical metaverse in which a surgical robot network receives medical images of a patient. A digital twin is generated from the medical images that enables generation of a virtual surgical simulation environment for performing a surgical procedure. Necessary workflow objects for the procedure are selected and surgical actions are performed on the digital twin. Data of the workflow objects and actions in relation to the digital twin are stored. The surgical robot network generates a surgical workflow based on the workflow objects and actions and compares the surgical workflow to historical workflows to allow adjustment of the workflow in the surgical simulation virtual environment. The workflow, workflow objects, and actions in relation to the digital twin are sent to the surgical robot.

  • Publication number: 20240350201
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides for printing a 3D structure in-situ within a patient during a surgical procedure. The disclosed technology can include generating instructions for a 3D printer of a surgical robot to print a structure within the patient's body, simulating and verifying the instructions, and autonomously or semi-autonomously executing the instructions, once verified, during a surgical procedure. Generating the instructions for printing the 3D structure within the patient can be based on image data of the patient. Generating the instructions can also include selecting substrate materials that are both safe for the patient and having desired properties of the final printed structure. Modifications can be made to the instructions based on results from the simulation. The disclosed technology provides for application of safe substrate material directly to hard and/or soft tissues within the patient's body via an additive manufacturing process, such as 3D printing.

  • Publication number: 20240290449
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for generating a radiological report. In some cases, some or all of the radiological report may be generated during a medical imaging to which the report relates, such that the report is generated contemporaneously with or in real time during the imaging. In some embodiments described herein, some or all of the radiological report may be generated automatically, without intervention from an imaging technician or from a radiologist. Such an automatic generation of radiological report content may be performed in some embodiments through comparison of information regarding a medical imaging of a patient to information regarding one or more prior medical imaging's of the patient or other patients. In response to detecting a match between information regarding a medical imaging of a patient and information regarding a prior medical imaging, information relating to the prior medical imaging may be used to generate the radiological report.
