  • Workflow assistant for image guided procedures
    Patent number: 10610307
    Abstract: A workflow assistance system for image guided surgical procedures includes an interventional imaging system. The interventional imaging system operates to move relative to a patient and to acquire interventional images during a surgical procedure. A surveillance system is arranged about a surgical suite and produces surveillance data. A workflow controller processes the surveillance data to identify locations of clinicians, the patient, the interventional imaging system, and medical equipment within the surgical suite and provide operational commands to the interventional imaging system based upon the surveillance data.

  • Optical distributor with rotating mirror
    Patent number: 5107367
    Abstract: An optical distributor for deflecting a light beam in different directions comprises a single semi-reflecting mirror 30 carried by a motor-driven turntable 31. The mirror is capable of pivoting about an axis 33 when a stop 46 is withdrawn (position Z of the notch and of the stud 38) and of taking up a position 52 in which it does not intercept the light beam 14. in the other positions (X and Y), the mirror intercepts the beam 14 and deflects it in the desired directions.
