US Patent:

6585746, Jul 1, 2003

Filed:

Jan 30, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/774154

Inventors:

Philip L. Gildenberg - Houston TX 77005

International Classification:

A61B 1734

US Classification:

606187

Filed:

Feb 28, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/085212

Inventors:

Philip L. Gildenberg - Houston TX

Assignee:

Houston Stereotactic Concepts, Inc. - Houston TX

International Classification:

A61B 505

US Classification:

600429, 600417, 600424, 606130

Abstract:

A computer-based system generating audible feedback to assist with guidance of at least one trackable point in space is provided. Surgical embodiments include generating audible feedback (to supplement visual and tactile feedback) to a surgeon moving the tip of a probe, for example, in a surgical field with respect to a volume of interest such as a tumor. Other surgical embodiments include generating audible feedback to assist with the precise insertion of a pedicle screw. In such surgical embodiments, as a surgeon moves a probe or instrument within the surgical field, a computer analyzes the current position of the probe and/or instrument in space with respect to a system of fiducial markers. The computer then provides audible feedback to the surgeon as to the position of the probe and/or instrument with respect to predetermined feature(s) of interest (such as a tumor) previously identified on a computer reconstruction of the surgical view obtained, for example, by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, a computerized tomography (CT) scan and/or an ultrasound scan. The audible feedback may vary in numerous ways, such as in tone, volume, pattern and/or style, as the probe and/or instrument moves relative to the feature(s) of interest.

US Classification:

604 62, 604156, 606187

Abstract:

Automated systems and methods for delivery of a therapeutic or cosmetic substance into cutaneous, subcutaneous or intramuscular tissue, wherein an automated (e. g. , robotic) arm is maneuvered to position a delivery device proximate a targeted location (e. g. , an existing hair follicle, a location for implanting a skin filler, or a location for intradermal tattoo ink injection) on a patient's skin surface; and a substantially automated process is used to cause the delivery device to puncture the skin surface and penetrate to a desired depth into the tissue at the targeted location, and deliver the substance therein.

Restoration Robotics, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

A61B 5/103

US Classification:

600407, 600424

Abstract:

Systems and methods for aligning a tool positioned on a moveable arm with a location or an object of interest on a body surface. Some methods comprise using one or more cameras and identifying position offsets of the location or the object of interest from the one or more cameras. Some methods comprise using at least two cameras and rectifying the images from the first and the second cameras. A variety of different tools and assemblies may be located on the moveable arm for performing various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that take advantage of the ability of the moveable arm to rapidly and precisely position the respective tool or assembly at desired locations on a skin.
