Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for automated disease detection using multiple-wavelength imaging are disclosed. The disclosed system uses multiple imaging modalities for assessing a medical condition. Data collected from multiple cameras and imaging modalities is processed to identify common structures. The common structures are used to scale and align images, which are analyzed to detect one or more medical conditions. Each acquired image is assessed, and the resulting probabilities are consolidated. The images can be assessed together by using artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A robotic surgical system, comprising:

a surgical robot;
and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions, which when executed by one or more computer processors cause the robotic surgical system to:
place a fiducial marker in a region of interest of a patient's anatomy;
determine a first set of data points of a first imaging modality and a second set of data points of a second imaging modality,
wherein the first set of data points and the second set of data points describe a tissue structure in the patient's anatomy by referencing the fiducial marker;
detect a medical condition of the patient by performing steps to:
determine a first modality value based on the first set of data points;
determine a second modality value based on the second set of data points;
and
provide the medical condition using a correlation routine based on characteristics of the first imaging modality and characteristics of the second imaging modality;
and
transmit a fused version of the first set of data points and the second set of data points to the surgical robot for treating the medical condition.
