Surgical Assistance System And Display Method
Patent No. EP4213755 (titled "Surgical Assistance System And Display Method") was filed by B Braun NEW Ventures on Feb 4, 2022. The application was issued on Apr 17, 2024.
Patent Summary
A surgical assistance system for patient interventions comprises a display device, a video endoscope with a distal recording head, a data-providing unit for preoperative 3D image data, and a control unit. A registration unit correlates the endoscope's intracorporeal image with the 3D data by detecting corresponding anatomical landmarks or orientations. A tracking system continuously provides endoscope movement data to the control unit, which generates a correlation display. This display synchronizes the intracorporeal image and a 3D data view by mapping endoscope movements to a virtual recording head. Tracking is achieved via an endoscope-internal inertial measurement unit (acceleration/rotation sensors) and/or image analysis of moving anatomical structures.
