System And Method For Image Localization Of Effecters During A Medical Procedure

View page
US Patent:
20200030041, Jan 30, 2020
Filed:
Oct 7, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/594202
Inventors:
- Durham NC, US
Samuel Morris Johnston - Durham NC, US
David Alexander Skwerer - Raleigh NC, US
International Classification:
A61B 34/20
A61B 6/00
A61B 6/12
A61B 90/00
Abstract:
A computer-assisted imaging and localization system assists the physician in positioning implants and instruments into a patient's body. The system displays overlapping images—one image of the surgical site with the patient's anatomy and another image showing the implant(s) or instrument(s). The overlapping image of the implant/instrument is moved over the static image of the anatomy as the implant/instrument is moved. These moving image of the implant/instrument can be an unaltered image or an image altered to intensify or mitigate the anatomical or non-anatomical aspects of the moving image. Sliding these images over one another helps the surgeon in positioning devices or instruments with a high degree of accuracy and with a limited number of additional x-rays.

US Patent:
20180074595, Mar 15, 2018
Filed:
Sep 22, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/713265
Inventors:
- San Diego CA, US
Samuel Morris Johnston - Durham NC, US
David Alexander Skwerer - Raleigh NC, US
Randall Graham Campbell - Durham NC, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/01
G06T 7/00
G06T 3/40

A61B 6/12
A61B 6/00
G06T 3/20
G06T 11/60
H04N 7/18
Abstract:
A system and method for displaying images of internal anatomy includes an image processing device configured to provide high resolution images of the surgical field from low resolution scans during the procedure. The image processing device digitally manipulates a previously-obtained high resolution baseline image to produce many representative images based on permutations of movement of the baseline image. During the procedure a representative image is selected having an acceptable degree of correlation to the new low resolution image. The selected representative image and the new image are merged to provide a higher resolution image of the surgical field. The image processing device is also configured to provide interactive movement of the displayed image based on movement of the imaging device, and to permit placement of annotations on the displayed image to facilitate communication between the radiology technician and the surgeon.
