Abstract
Surgical systems and methods to facilitate surgical navigation involve a scanner to produce a scan of a vessel on a bone and a camera configured to detect markers coupled to the bone. Controller(s) track the bone based on detection of the markers by the camera and determine, based on the scan, one or more characteristics of the vessel on the bone. The controller(s) obtain imaging data of the bone and register the imaging data and the one or more characteristics of the vessel to the bone.
Claims20
A surgical system comprising:
- a scanner configured to produce a scan of a vessel on a bone;
- a camera configured to detect markers coupled to the bone;
- and
- one or more controllers coupled to the scanner and the camera and being configured to:
- track the bone based on detection of the markers by the camera;
- determine, based on the scan, one or more characteristics of the vessel on the bone;
- obtain imaging data of the bone;
- and
- register the imaging data and the one or more characteristics of the vessel to the bone to facilitate surgical navigation.
A method of operating a surgical system, the surgical system including a scanner configured to produce a scan of a vessel on a bone, a camera configured to detect markers coupled to the bone, and one or more controllers coupled to the scanner and the camera, the method comprising the one or more controllers:
- tracking the bone based the camera detecting the markers;
- determining, based on the scan, one or more characteristics of the vessel on the bone;
- obtaining imaging data of the bone;
- and
- registering the imaging data and the one or more characteristics of the vessel to the bone for facilitating surgical navigation.
A surgical navigation system comprising:
- a camera configured to detect markers coupled to a bone;
- and
- one or more controllers coupled to the camera and being configured to:
- obtain a scan of a vessel on the bone;
- determine, based on the scan, one or more characteristics of the vessel on the bone;
- obtain imaging data of the bone;
- and
- register the imaging data and the one or more characteristics of the vessel to the bone to facilitate surgical navigation.
