Embodiment Construction

[0015] The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention can be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided as teaching examples of the invention.

[0016] In general, according to various embodiments, a TEE probe of a TEE ultrasound acquisition system is precisely steered at least in part by a robot using a focused ultrasound beam transmitted by the TTE probe of the TTE ultrasound acquisition system. That is, a user may select a region of interest in a region of the patient's body (eg, heart or other organ) using, for example, the display of the TTE image on a graphical user interface (GUI). Once a region of interest is selected, the TTE probe generates a focused ultrasound beam targeted to the selected region of interest, and the controller uses the foc...

Abstract

A controller and method for imaging an area of interest of a region within an object using a transoesophageal echo (TEE) probe of a TEE ultrasound acquisition system are 5 provided. The controller includes a memory that stores instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the controller to perform a process including causing atransthoracic echo (TTE) probe of a TTE ultrasound acquisition system to emit an ultrasound beam to a selected area of interest of a region within the object; switching the TEE probe to a listening mode, enabling the 10 TEE probe detect and receive the ultrasound beam emitted by the TTE probe; and causing a robot to steer the TEE probe to an imaging location in the object using the detected TTE ultrasound beam. The TEE probe shows the area of interest using ultrasound images acquired from the imaging location.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to minimally invasive medical procedures performed using image-guided instruments, and more particularly to systems and methods for automatically manipulating and maintaining endoscopic narrow-field ultrasound imaging using wide-field external ultrasound imaging. Background technique [0002] Surgical robots and / or steerable devices may be used in minimally invasive medical procedures or interventional procedures to increase a surgeon's dexterity at a surgical site inside a subject, such as a patient or a patient's body. Examples of surgical robots include multi-arm systems such as Robots, or soft robots such as robot system. These robotic systems are controlled by a user (eg, a surgeon) using different interface mechanisms, including handheld controllers or input handles for operating the robotic system. An imaging system is also incorporated to visualize the region of interest inside the subject, the robotic system...
