    Abstract: A mixed reality device (30) employing a mixed reality display (40) for visualizing a virtual augmentation of a physical anatomical model, and a mixed reality controller (50) for controlling a visualization by the mixed reality display (40) of the virtual augmentation of the physical anatomical model including a mixed reality interaction between the physical anatomical model and a virtual anatomical model. The mixed reality controller (50) may employ a mixed reality registration module (51) for controlling a spatial registration between the physical anatomical model within a physical space and the virtual anatomical model within a virtual space, and a mixed reality interaction module for controlling the mixed reality interaction between the physical anatomical model and the virtual anatomical model based on the spatial registration between the physical anatomical model within the physical space and the virtual anatomical model within the virtual space.

    Abstract: A transperinealprostate intervention device comprises a prostate intervention instrument (10), a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) probe (12), and a mechanical or optical coordinate measurement machine (CMM) (20) attached to the TRUS probe and configured to track the prostate intervention instrument. The CMM may include an articulated arm with a plurality of encoding joints (24), an anchor end (30) attached to the TRUS probe, and a movable end (32) attached to the prostate intervention instrument. The prostate intervention instrument may, for example, be a biopsy needle, a brachytherapy seed delivery instrument, a tissue ablation instrument, or a hollow cannula. An electronic processor (40) computes a predicted trajectory (54) of the prostate intervention instrument in a frame of reference of the TRUS probe using the CMM attached to the TRUS probe. A representation (56) of the predicted trajectory is superimposed on a prostate ultrasound image (50) generated from ultrasound data collected by the TRUS probe.

    Abstract: A steerable introduction system for deploying an interventional tool (e.g., a replacement valve) within an anatomical object (e.g. a heart). The steerable introduction system employs a steerable introducer (20) including an end-effector for positioning the interventional tool within the anatomical object (e.g., the end-effector passively guides or actively steers the interventional tool within the anatomical object). The steerable introduction system further employs an image guidance workstation (120) controlling an actuation of a translation, a pivoting and/or a rotation of the end-effector within the anatomical object responsive to surgical image data illustrative of a position of the end-effector within the anatomical object (e.g., ultrasound or X-ray image data illustrative of a surgical position of the end-effector within a heart). The motion actuation by the image guidance workstation (120) of the end-effector facilitates a coaxial alignment and/or a coplanar alignment of the interventional tool and a structure of the anatomical object (e.g., a diseased aortic valve of a heart).

    Abstract: A system for evaluating patency includes a light sensor (128) positionable relative to a blood vessel to receive light from the blood vessel and convert the light into an image signal. Aphoto-plethysmography (PPG) interpretation module (115) is configured to receive the image signal and output pixel values in an image representing PPG information. An image generation module(148) is coupled to the PPG interpretation module to receive the pixel values and generate a PPG map to be output to a display for analysis.

    Abstract: An image registration system an endoscope (12) and an endoscope controller (22). In operation, the endoscope (12) generates an intra-operative endoscopic image (14) of a vessel tree (e.g., an arterial tree or a venous tree) within an anatomical region, and the endoscope controller (22) image registers the intra-operative endoscopic image (14) of the vessel tree to a pre-operative three-dimensional image (44) of the vessel tree within the anatomical region. The image registration includes an image matching of a graphical representation of each furcation of the vessel tree within the intra-operative endoscopic image (14) of the vessel tree to a graphical representation of each furcation of the vessel tree within the pre-operative three-dimensional image (44) of the vessel tree.
