Abstract
A virtual operating room (OR) is generated that includes virtual surgical equipment based on existing OR models and existing equipment models. Sensor feedback is received that defines a physical OR having physical equipment, the physical equipment including a surgical robotic system within the physical OR. The virtual OR and the virtual surgical equipment is updated based on the sensor feedback. A layout of the virtual surgical equipment is optimized in the virtual OR. The virtual OR and the virtual surgical equipment are rendered on a display.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- generating a virtual operating room (OR) including virtual surgical equipment and a virtual patient that is generated from one or more images of a physical patient;
- identifying a surgical procedure to be performed upon the virtual patient within the virtual OR;
- using the identified surgical procedure to determine a volume of a workspace inside the virtual patient and a position of a virtual tool in the workspace;
- using the position of the virtual tool within the workspace to determine a layout of the virtual surgical equipment that allows a distal end of the virtual tool to reach or move throughout the volume of the workspace;
- and
- displaying the virtual OR including the virtual surgical equipment.
A system comprising:
- a display;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- generate a virtual operating room (OR) including virtual surgical equipment and a virtual patient that is generated from one or more images of a physical patient,
- identify a surgical procedure to be performed upon the virtual patient within the virtual OR;
- using the identified surgical procedure to determine a volume of a workspace inside the virtual patient and a position of a virtual trocar inserted into a body wall of the virtual patient,
- use the position of the virtual trocar inserted into the body wall of the virtual patient to determine a layout of the virtual surgical equipment such that a distal end of a virtual tool that is introduced through the virtual trocar while inserted into the body wall maintains reach or movement throughout the volume of the workspace, and
- display the virtual OR including the virtual surgical equipment on the display.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:
- generate a virtual operating room (OR) including virtual surgical equipment and a virtual patient that is generated from one or more images of a physical patient;
- identifying a surgical procedure to be performed upon the virtual patient within the virtual OR;
- using the identified surgical procedure to determine a volume of a workspace within a larger volume inside the virtual patient and a position of a virtual tool in the workspace;
- use the position of the virtual tool within the workspace to determine a layout of the virtual surgical equipment that allows a distal end of the virtual tool to reach or move throughout the volume of the workspace;
- and
- display the virtual OR including the virtual surgical equipment.
