AUTOMATED TOUCHLESS REGISTRATION FOR SURGICAL NAVIGATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240299100 titled 'AUTOMATED TOUCHLESS REGISTRATION FOR SURGICAL NAVIGATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and methods for automated touchless registration of patient anatomy for surgical navigation systems. This involves acquiring images of the patient, determining relevant objects, and processing the images through a photogrammetry module to enable camera calibration and registration.
- Automated touchless registration of patient anatomy for surgical navigation systems
- Acquiring images of the patient
- Determining relevant objects from different poses
- Processing images through a photogrammetry module for camera calibration and registration
- Extending capabilities of camera head movement and digital visualization for near-automated or fully automated touchless registration
Key Features and Innovation
- Automated touchless registration of patient anatomy
- Utilization of photogrammetry module for camera calibration and registration
- Extension of camera head movement and digital visualization capabilities
Potential Applications
- Surgical navigation systems
- Medical imaging technologies
- Image processing software
Problems Solved
- Manual or robotic movement limitations in camera registration
- Lack of automated touchless registration capabilities in traditional surgical navigation systems
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in patient anatomy registration
- Enhanced efficiency in surgical navigation procedures
- Reduced manual intervention in camera calibration
Commercial Applications
Automated Touchless Registration System for Surgical Navigation: Enhancing Precision and Efficiency in Medical Procedures
Questions about Automated Touchless Registration System
How does the photogrammetry module facilitate camera calibration and registration?
The photogrammetry module processes images to provide camera calibration and registration, ensuring accurate alignment for surgical navigation.
What are the potential implications of extending camera head movement and digital visualization capabilities?
Extending these capabilities allows for near-automated or fully automated touchless registration, improving efficiency and accuracy in surgical procedures.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods are disclosed for an automated touchless registration of patient anatomy for surgical navigation systems. an example method includes: acquiring a plurality of images of the patient; determining relevant objects from a plurality of poses; and processing the received images through a photogrammetry module. the photogrammetry module may provide camera calibration and facilitate camera registration. as such, manual movement or robotic movement capabilities of the camera head, and digital visualization capabilities of a digital surgical microscope disclosed herein can be extended to allow near-automated or fully automated touchless registration for traditional surgical navigation.
