SURGICAL IMAGING SYSTEM WITH SELECTIVE VIEW - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18598665 titled 'SURGICAL IMAGING SYSTEM WITH SELECTIVE VIEW
The surgical imaging system described in the abstract includes a scope with an optic element set at a specific angle, capturing source image data in a field of view.
- The system is designed to control the capture of source image data at the native perspective and inclination angle, providing a clear view for surgical procedures.
- It can simulate a different inclination angle by selecting a subset of the source image, allowing for a more versatile display on a screen.
- The modified source image data and the original image data are then output to a display screen for viewing during surgery.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various surgical procedures where precise imaging is crucial. - It can enhance visualization during minimally invasive surgeries, improving accuracy and efficiency.
Problems Solved: - Provides a clear and accurate view of the surgical site from different angles. - Allows for better visualization and understanding of complex anatomical structures.
Benefits: - Improved surgical outcomes due to enhanced visualization. - Increased efficiency and accuracy in surgical procedures.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be utilized by hospitals, surgical centers, and medical device companies to improve surgical imaging capabilities. - It has the potential to enhance the quality of care provided to patients undergoing surgical procedures.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this surgical imaging system improve the accuracy of surgical procedures? 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in healthcare settings?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in surgical imaging technology to ensure the system remains at the forefront of innovation in the medical field.
Original Abstract Submitted
A surgical imaging system includes a scope having an optic element aligned at a first inclination angle defining a native perspective. An image sensor is configured to capture source image data in a field of view transmitted through the optic element. A controller is configured to control the capture of source image data at the native perspective at the first inclination angle. The controller further selects a first subset of the source image including a first portion of the field of view simulating a second inclination angle and selectively outputs modified source image data and the first image data to a display screen.
