System and Method for Drape Volume Control
2 Dec 21
A system for controlling a volume of a drape according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a drape operable to substantially cover an articulated member and having a pressure source opening and at least one tool opening, the pressure source opening defining a path for a fluid to flow into or out of a volume substantially enclosed by the drape, the at least one tool opening enabling a tool to be supported by the articulated member outside of the volume substantially enclosed by the drape; at least one sensor operable to monitor a characteristic of the system; and a controller that causes the volume substantially enclosed by the drape to increase to a maximum volume, decrease to a minimum volume, or maintain an operating volume, and wherein the drape increasingly conforms to the articulated member as the volume substantially enclosed by the drape is decreased.

System and Method for Aligning an Imaging Device
21 Oct 21
A method of aligning an imaging device in connection with robotic surgery includes causing a robot to position a reference target over a body of a patient; receiving image data from an imaging device; identifying, with an image processing algorithm, at least a first portion of an anatomical element in the image data; identifying, with a target detection algorithm, at least a first portion of a reference target in the image data; comparing a determined location of the imaging device, the reference target, and the anatomical element to yield a location determination and causing at least one of the robot to re-position the reference target or the imaging device to re-position.

Utility
Image Based Pathology Prediction Using Artificial Intelligence
5 Feb 20
A method for determining an acceptable spinal surgical plan for a subject using pathology prediction, comprising generating a potential spinal surgical plan, obtaining clinically relevant data of the subject, obtaining pre-operative three-dimensional images of a spinal region of the subject, determining relationships between pairs of vertebrae in the images, predicting relationships between pairs of vertebrae that are expected from the surgical plan, accessing a multiple patient database, obtaining sets of data from the database for patients with similar characteristics to the subject, determining risks of pathology types for the subject, using artificial intelligence to combine the determined risks to calculate an overall risk for pathology types for the subject, and if the overall risks are unacceptable, selecting an alternative spinal surgical plan, and if the said overall risks are acceptable, determining that said surgical plan is acceptable.

Utility
Global Balance Using Dynamic Motion Analysis
22 Jan 20
An exemplary method of determining a surgical spinal correction for a subject using analysis of motion capture images of the subject, which uses the steps of obtaining pre-operative three-dimensional images of a spinal region, obtaining a pre-operative time sequenced set of images of the subject during a movement progression of said subject, calculating in a plurality of the motion capture images, alignment parameters relating to upper and lower body regions of the subject, and determining if any of the calculated alignment parameters are outside their predetermined acceptable ranges in one or more of the images, iteratively adjusting anatomical elements in three-dimensional images until all of the calculated alignment parameters are within their predetermined acceptable ranges; and adjusting spinal anatomy in the three-dimensional images according to the degree of adjustment of spinal parameters in the motion capture images to determine a surgical spinal correction.
