Intermodal synchronization of surgical data

A system for automatically generating one or more steps of a suggested surgical plan based on archival surgical plan data from one or more prior medical procedures, comprising:

• a control and processing system comprising one or more processors, a memory coupled with said one or more processors, a planning engine interfaced with the one or more processors;
• a storage device interfaced with the control and a processing system;
• and
• an external user input and output device, the external use input and output device comprising a display,
• said memory storing instructions, which, when executed by said one or more processors, causes said one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• during a surgical procedure, controlling a diagnostic device to perform an in-vivo local tissue measurement associated with a region of interest of a subject and automatically recording the in-vivo local tissue measurement, thereby obtaining and automatically recording tissue analysis data;
• accessing archival tissue analysis data associated with one or more prior medical procedures from the storage device;
• accessing surgical plan data associated with the one or more prior medical procedures from the storage device;
• comparing, according to pre-selected similarity criteria, the tissue identification analysis data and the archival tissue analysis data associated with the one or more prior medical procedures;
• identifying one or more similar prior medical procedures having archival tissue analysis data satisfying the pre-selected similarity criteria;
• processing the surgical plan data associated with the one or more similar prior medical procedures to generate the one or more steps of the suggested surgical plan;
• and
• displaying, using the display, a plurality of hyperlinked reference markers associated with the archival tissue analysis data on a medical image, displaying comprising showing the plurality of hyperlinked reference markers at locations corresponding to the tissue analysis data, whereby a given hyperlinked reference marker is selectable from the plurality of hyperlinked reference markers, and whereby at least one of associated diagnostic data and tissue analysis is viewable.

A method of automatically generating one or more steps of a suggested surgical plan based on archival surgical plan data from one or more prior medical procedures, using a control and processing system, the control and processing system comprising a processor and a planning engine interfaced with the processor, using a storage device interfaced with the control and a processing system, and using an external user input and output device, the external use input and output device comprising a display, the method comprising:

• during a medical procedure, employing a Raman probe to perform an in-vivo local tissue measurement associated with a region of interest of a subject and automatically recording the in-vivo local tissue measurement, thereby obtaining and automatically recording Raman tissue analysis data;
• obtaining archival Raman tissue analysis data associated with one or more prior medical procedures from the storage device;
• obtaining surgical plan data associated with the one or more prior medical procedures from the storage device;
• comparing, using the processor, according to pre-selected similarity criteria, the Raman tissue analysis data and the archival Raman tissue analysis data associated with the one or more prior medical procedures;
• identifying, using the processor, one or more similar prior medical procedures having archival Raman tissue analysis data satisfying the pre-selected similarity criteria;
• and
• processing, using the processor, the surgical plan data associated with the one or more similar prior medical procedures to generate the one or more steps of the suggested surgical plan;
• and
• displaying, using the display, a plurality of hyperlinked reference markers associated with the archival Raman tissue analysis data on a medical image, displaying comprising showing the plurality of hyperlinked reference markers at locations corresponding to the Raman tissue analysis data, whereby a given hyperlinked reference marker is selectable from the plurality of hyperlinked reference markers, and whereby at least one of associated diagnostic data and tissue analysis is viewable.
