Application: Simultaneous white light and hyperspectral light imaging systems (Patent ID: US20240180404A1)
The patent filed by Intuitive Surgical Inc. describes a method and system for generating composite hyperspectral images in a computer-assisted surgical system. The controller of the system receives visible images and hyperspectral images captured by an image capture unit, generates a composite hyperspectral image, and spatially registers it with the visible image. The hyperspectral images can be captured from different camera locations, simultaneously with the visible image, or by spatially scanning the camera over a surgical site. The system includes a robotic arm with an endoscope, an illuminator with white light and hyperspectral sources, and a camera with two sensors for capturing visible color and hyperspectral images simultaneously. The controller commands the camera to capture images at multiple locations, generate composite hyperspectral images, and display them overlaid on the visible images on a display device.
The system allows for enhanced visualization during surgery by combining visible and hyperspectral images, providing different viewing modes, such as picture-in-picture or stereoscopic display. The controller can inhibit motion of surgical instruments while displaying the composite images and toggle between different viewing modes. The patent also covers a method for generating composite hyperspectral images and spatially registering them with visible images in a surgical system. Overall, the technology described in the patent aims to improve surgical procedures by providing detailed and accurate imaging capabilities for better decision-making and precision during operations.
