Abstract
A medical apparatus is configured to provide visualization of a surgical site. The medical apparatus includes an electronic display disposed within a display housing. The medical apparatus includes a display optical system disposed within the display housing, the display optical system comprising a plurality of lens elements disposed along an optical path. The display optical system is configured to receive images from the electronic display. The medical apparatus can include proximal cameras mounted on a frame, the cameras configured to provide a view of a surgical site from outside the surgical site. The display housing can have a height that is larger than its depth.
Claims31
A medical apparatus comprising:
- a camera having a field of view that can be configured to include a surgical site, wherein the camera is configured to provide a surgical microscope view of the surgical site;
- a display housing comprising an eye portal;
- an electronic display disposed within the display housing, the electronic display comprising a plurality of pixels configured to produce a two-dimensional image, an optical path extending from said electronic display to said eye portal;
- a display optical system disposed within the display housing, the display optical system comprising a plurality of optical elements disposed along said optical path from said electronic display to said eye portal configured to direct images from the electronic display to the eye portal;
- and
- an image processing system configured to receive images acquired by the camera providing the surgical microscope view and to present output video images on the electronic display based on the received images,
- wherein the plurality of optical elements comprises a redirection element configured to redirect the optical path from said electronic display to said eye portal such that at least 40% and less than or equal to 95% of the total length of the optical path from said electronic display to said eye portal in the display housing is above the eye portal when the display housing is oriented such that the portion of the optical path through the eye portal is horizontal, and
- wherein the electronic display disposed within the display housing is decoupled from movement of the camera.
