Embodiment Construction

[0030] In the following, refer to figure 1 , 2 and 3 describe the invention.

[0031] figure 1 An augmented reality surgical microscope 1 is shown. The microscope 1 is provided with at least one camera 2, which preferably comprises at least one multispectral or hyperspectral camera. The camera 2 is located in an optics mount 4 mounted on a movable cantilever and / or telescoping arm 6 for free positioning over an object to be viewed 8 during surgery. The arm 6 is supported on a frame 9 of the microscope 1, which may be fixed or movable on wheels.

[0032] Typically, the object 8 comprises living tissue 10 which may be provided with at least one mass 12 of at least one fluorophore 14 . Surgical microscope 1 may also include an illumination system 16 , which may also be arranged within optics holder 4 . Illumination light 18 from illumination system 16 can be directed onto living tissue 10 via microscope lens 20 . The camera can also use the microscope lens 20.

Abstract

The invention relates to an augmented reality surgical microscope (1) having a camera (2), preferably a multispectral or hyperspectral camera. The augmented reality surgical microscope (1) retrieves input image data (22) of an object (8) comprising in particular live tissue (10). The input image data (22) comprise visible-light image data (26) as well as fluorescent-light image data (24) of at least one fluorophore (14). The augmented reality surgical microscope (1) permits the automatic identification and marking in pseudo-color (86) of various types of vascular plexus structures (54a 54b, 54c) and / or of blood flow direction (56) depending on the fluorescent-light image data (24). A pre-operative three-dimensional atlas (36) and / or ultrasound image data (39) may be elastically matched to the visible-light image data (26). The augmented reality surgical microscope (1) allows different combinations of the various image data to be output simultaneously to different displays (75). The invention also relates to a microscopy method and a non-transitory computer-readable storing a program causing a computer to execute the microscopy method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to augmented reality surgical microscopes and microscopy methods. Background technique [0002] Current microscopes are capable of capturing images in different imaging modalities such as white light, fluorescence of one of multiple fluorophores, and polarized light. However, they can only capture one pattern at a time. During surgery, surgeons often need to switch between different imaging modalities in order to access all necessary information. This switching process is cumbersome and distracts the surgeon from the operation. Furthermore, surgeons essentially need to assemble all the information from memory, which is inevitably inaccurate, error-prone, tiring, and requires extensive training and experience. Contents of the invention [0003] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a microscope device and a method of microscopy which facilitate the surgical procedure and provide the surgeon with...
