  • Patent number: 10607345
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an augmented reality surgical system for viewing an augmented image of a region of interest during a surgical procedure. The system includes an image capture device that captures an image of the region of interest. A controller receives the image and applies at least one image processing filter to the image. The image processing filter includes a spatial decomposition filter that decomposes the image into spatial frequency bands. A temporal filter is applied to the spatial frequency bands to generate temporally filtered bands. An adder adds each band spatial frequency band to a corresponding temporally filtered band to generate augmented bands. A reconstruction filter generates an augmented image by collapsing the augmented bands. A display displays the augmented image to a user.

  • Patent number: 10588705
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to robotic surgical system that includes an operating console configured to operate at least one robotic arm and at least one drive motor configured to receive an input from the operating console and control the at least one robotic arm based on the input from the operating console. A surgical instrument is coupled to the at least one robotic arm. The surgical instrument is inserted into a patient and captures an image of a region of interest inside the patient during a surgical procedure. A controller receives the image and applies at least one image processing filter to identify at least one non-visible property of an object in the region of interest. A display displays the image to a user.

  • Publication number: 20100177100
    Abstract: A system includes a data repository on a bedside device, a networked device, or both, configured to receive at least one physiological parameter from each of a plurality of sources in a machine-dependent format and convert each physiological parameter received from the machine-dependent format into a machine-independent format. The bedside device is configured to display a graphical representation of at least one of the physiological parameters. The bedside device includes a graphical user interface configured to receive inputs from a user and customize the display of the physiological parameter based upon the inputs received from the user.
