Title:
LAPAROSCOPIC ULTRASOUND ROBOTIC SURGICAL SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012050888
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a LUS robotic surgical system.

The LUS robotic surgical system is trainable by a surgeon to move a LUS probe in a desired fashion upon an instruction, so that the surgeon does not have to do so manually during a minimally invasive surgical procedure. the sequence of 2D ultrasound images captured by the LUS probe according to stored instructions can be processed into a 3D ultrasound computer model of an anatomic structure. The model can be displayed as a 3D or 2D overlay to a camera view or in a PIP selected by the surgeon or programmed to assist the surgeon in inspecting the anatomic structure for abnormalities. Virtual fixtures are definable so as to assist the surgeon in accurately guiding a tool to a target on the displayed ultrasound image.
