AI Technical Summary
Existing surgical imaging technologies expose patients to harmful radiation, struggle with registration accuracy due to anatomical movement during surgery, and are limited by bulky equipment that disrupts surgical procedures, particularly in pediatric cases.
A robotic system with ultrasound and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging, utilizing robotic arms to precisely position imaging probes for radiation-free, real-time registration verification and 3D reconstruction, avoiding the need for bulky devices and fiducials.
Provides accurate, radiation-free imaging with real-time registration verification, reducing exposure and procedural costs, and enabling precise 3D model updates during surgery without disrupting the surgical field.
