Abstract
A surgical system includes a detector that includes an array of pixels configured to detect light reflected by a surgical device and generate a first signal. The first signal includes a first dataset representative of a visible image of the surgical device. The surgical system also includes a processor configured to receive the first signal and a second signal representative of one or more operating parameters of the surgical device. The processor is also configured to generate a modified image of the surgical device that includes information related to one or more operating parameters.
Claims20
A surgical system comprising:
- a detector, comprising an array of pixels configured to detect light reflected by a surgical environment that includes a surgical device and generate a first signal comprising a first dataset representative of a visible image of the surgical environment and the surgical device;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive the first signal and a second signal representative of one or more operating parameters of a portion of the surgical device,
- identify an image of the surgical device from the first signal based on a predetermined orientation of the surgical device between the detector and the surgical device;
- identify an image of a portion of the surgical device based on comparison of the image of the identified surgical device with an image of the surgical device in a database;
- generate a modified image of the surgical device that includes at least a portion of the surgical environment and the surgical device, and information related to the one or more operating parameters, wherein a location of the information related to the one or more operating parameters of a portion of the surgical device is superimposed to be on or adjacent to the image of the portion of the surgical device.
4 more elements
A surgical system comprising:
- a first detector, configured to detect light reflected by a surgical device within a surgical environment having one or more regions with a predetermined color and generate a first signal representative of a first visible image;
- a second detector, configured to detect light reflected by the surgical environment and generate a second signal representative of a second visible image;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive the first and second signals,
- identify, from the first visible image in the first signal, an image of a first portion of the first image that does not include the one or more regions of the surgical device having the predetermined color,
- identify, from the second image in the second signal, an image of a second portion of the second image that does not include the one or more regions of the surgical device having the predetermined color, and
- generate a first modified image of the surgical environment, wherein the image of the first portion in the first visible image is replaced with an image of underlying tissue in the surgical environment;
- generate a second modified image of the surgical environment, wherein the image of the second portion in the second visible image is replaced with an image of underlying tissue in the surgical environment.

A surgical method comprising:
- detecting light reflected by a surgical device;
- generating a first signal comprising a first dataset representative of an image of the surgical device;
- receiving the first signal and a second signal representative of one or more operating parameters of a portion of the surgical device;
- identifying an image of the surgical device from the first signal based on a predetermined orientation of the surgical device between the detector and the surgical device;
- identifying an image of a portion of the surgical device based on comparison of the image of the identified surgical device with an image of the surgical device in a database;
- and
- generating a modified image of the surgical device that includes information related to one or more operating parameters, wherein a location of the information related to the one or more operating parameters of a portion of the surgical device is superimposed to be on or adjacent to the image of the portion of the surgical device.
