Filed:

Jul 17, 2013

Appl. No.:

14/416653

Inventors:

- Eindhoven, NL
Ameet Kumar Jain - New York NY, US
Hua Xie - Ossining NY, US
Francois Guy Gerard Marie Vignon - Croton on Hudson NY, US
Christopher Stephen Hall - Kirkland NY, US

International Classification:

G06T 7/00
A61B 8/00
A61B 8/08
G01N 29/30

Abstract:

A method for mapping coordinates between images and tracking systems includes providing () a calibration tool having a fixed geometric shape. The calibration tool includes first sensors associated with an imaging mode and second sensors associated with a tracking mode. The first and second sensors are distributed and mounted at known locations on the fixed geometric shape. The first sensors are located () in a field of view of an imaging system to determine a position of the calibration tool in image space. The second sensors are tracked () to determine a same position of the calibration tool in tracking space. The image space and the tracking space are mapped () in a common coordinate system based on artifacts of the calibration tool.

International Classification:

A61B 19/00

US Classification:

606130

Abstract:

Systems and methods for surgical robotic guidance include a robotic system () having a robot () configured to pass to a target through a port (). The robotic system includes a visual component () employed in guiding the robot along a path to a location. The location is defined in accordance with a position and orientation of the robot. An ultrasonic probe () is guided by the robot to the location to permit engagement of the probe to collect ultrasonic images at the location.

International Classification:

G06T 5/00

US Classification:

382131

Abstract:

An imaging correction system includes a tracked imaging probe () configured to generate imaging volumes of a region of interest from different positions. An image compensation module () is configured to process image signals from a medical imaging device associated with the probe and to compare one or more image volumes with a reference to determine aberrations between an assumed wave velocity through the region of interest and a compensated wave velocity through the region of interest. An image correction module () is configured to receive the aberrations determined by the image compensation module and generate a corrected image for display based on the compensated wave velocity.
