AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In the case of stereoscopic endoscopy, this degradation has potential adverse effects on the surgeon through the now mismatched stereoscopic image pair, which can lead to perception problems, leaving the surgeon's line of sight and cognitive pathways where the surgeon does not overwhelmed with awareness
This can lead to degradation of the surgeon's performance in perceiving and responding to the observed stereoscopic information

Embodiment approach

[0023] As used herein, the terms "clinician," "surgeon," "observer," and / or "viewer" generally refer to users of the stereoscopic display devices described herein. Additionally, although the terms "first eye" and "second eye" are used herein to refer to a user's left and right eyes, respectively, such usage is provided as an example and should not be construed as limiting . Throughout the specification, the term "proximal" refers to the part of the device or its components that is furthest from the patient (and thus closest to the clinician and / or surgical robot), while the term "distal" refers to the part of the device or its components that is closest to the patient (thus the part furthest from the clinician and / or surgical robot). Additionally, as referred to herein, the term "signal path" (whether right eye or left eye) refers to the optical-electrical-optical signal path through which an image is optically captured, converted into an electrical / digital signal for transmi...

Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for detecting image degradation during a surgical procedure are provided. A method includes receiving images of a surgical instrument; obtaining baselineimages of an edge of the surgical instrument; comparing a characteristic of the images of the surgical instrument to a characteristic of the baseline images of the edge of the surgical instrument, theimages of the surgical instrument being received subsequent to obtaining the baseline images of the edge of the surgical instrument and being received while the surgical instrument is disposed at a surgical site in a patient; determining whether the images of the surgical instrument are degraded, based on the comparing of the characteristic of the images of the surgical instrument and the characteristic of the baseline images of the surgical instrument; and generating an image degradation notification, in response to a determination that the images of the surgical instrument are degraded.

Description

Background technique [0001] Robotic surgical systems may be used in minimally invasive surgical procedures. During a robotic surgical procedure, the surgeon controls the robotic surgical arm using a user interface at a telesurgeon console. The user interface allows the surgeon to manipulate surgical instruments coupled to the robotic arm and to control the camera to receive images of the surgical site within the patient. [0002] The surgeon's console may include a stereoscopic display, sometimes referred to as a three-dimensional (3D) display. In this regard, sometimes in conjunction with a corresponding pair of anaglyph glasses worn by the surgeon, such displays facilitate depth perception from images by presenting the images to the surgeon as a pair of distinct images provided to the left and right eyes, respectively. A stereoscopic display can display images provided by a stereoscopic endoscope. Stereoscopic endoscopes employ two signal paths, typically a left-eye view ...
