Embodiment Construction

[0018] Examples of the present disclosure include systems and methods that facilitate and improve the efficiency and safety of minimally invasive procedures. For example, aspects of the present disclosure may provide a user (eg, physician, medical technician, or other medical service provider) with the ability to more easily identify and thereby remove kidney stones or other material from a patient's kidney or other organ. In some embodiments, for example, the present disclosure can be used to plan and / or perform flexible ureteroscopic surgery with or without laser lithotripsy. The techniques discussed herein are also applicable to other medical techniques, such as any medical technique that employs endoscopy.

[0019] Reference will now be made in detail to the examples of the present disclosure described above and illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts. ...

Abstract

Systems and methods for processing an electronic image from a medical device include receiving a first image frame and a second image frame from the medical device, and determining a region of interest by subtracting the first image frame from the second image frame, the region of interest corresponds to a visual impairment in the first image frame and / or the second image frame. Based on a comparison between a first region of the first image frame corresponding to the region of interest and a second region of the second image frame corresponding to the region of interest, image processing may be applied to the first image frame and / or the second image frame, and the first image frame and / or the second image frame may be provided for display to a user.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 890,399, filed August 22, 2019, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] Various aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to systems and methods that may be used to plan and / or perform medical procedures. Background technique [0004] Substantial progress has been made towards increasing the effectiveness of medical care while reducing trauma and risk to patients. Many procedures that once required open surgery can now be done with minimally invasive techniques, offering patients less recovery time and risk of infection. Certain procedures requiring biopsy, electrical stimulation, tissue ablation, or removal of native or foreign objects can be performed via minimally invasive procedures. [0005] In the field of urology, for example kidney stones or kidney stones can accumulate in the u...
