Abstract:
A method of displaying a pathological microscopic image is provided. The method includes causing a display device to display a first area and a second area of a microscopic image, wherein the first area of the microscopic image is configured to be displayed in a first resolution and the second area of the microscopic image is configured to be displayed in a second resolution, and wherein the first resolution is lower than the second resolution; and causing the display device to display a first part of the first area in a first color different from an intrinsic color of the microscopic image, wherein the first part of the first area corresponds to the second area of the microscopic image, and wherein the first color includes one or more colors. An information processing apparatus, a non-transitory computer-readable medium, and an information processing system are also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method for real-time characterization of spatially-resolved tissue optical properties using OCT/LCI. Imaging data are acquired, processed, displayed and stored in real-time. The resultant tissue optical properties are then used to determine the diagnostic threshold and to determine the OCT/LCI detection sensitivity and specificity. Color-coded optical property maps are constructed to provide direct visual cues for surgeons to differentiate tumor versus non-tumor tissue. These optical property maps can be overlaid with the structural imaging data and/or Doppler results for efficient data display. Finally, the imaging system can also be integrated with existing systems such as tracking and surgical microscopes. An aiming beam is generally provided for interventional guidance. For intraoperative use, a cap/spacer may also be provided to maintain the working distance of the probe, and also to provide biopsy capabilities. The method is usable for research and clinical diagnosis and/or interventional guidance.
Abstract:
A system, method, and apparatus for guiding an astigmatism correction procedure on an eye of a patient are disclosed. An example apparatus include a photosensor configured to record a pre-operative still image of an ocular target surgical site of the patient. The apparatus also includes a real-time, multidimensional visualization module configured to produce a real-time multidimensional visualization of the ocular target surgical site during an astigmatism correction procedure. The apparatus further includes a data processor configured to determine a virtual indicium that includes data for guiding the astigmatism correction procedure. The data processor uses the pre-operative still image to align the virtual indicium with the multidimensional visualization such that the virtual indicium is rotationally accurate. The data processor then displays the multidimensional visualization of the ocular target surgical site in conjunction with the virtual indicium.

Systems, methods and devices are implemented for microscope imaging solutions. One embodiment of the present disclosure is directed toward an epifluorescence microscope. The microscope includes an image capture circuit including an array of optical sensor. An optical arrangement is configured to direct excitation light of less than about 1 mW to a target object in a field of view of that is at least 0.5 mm2 and to direct epi-fluorescence emission caused by the excitation light to the array of optical sensors. The optical arrangement and array of optical sensors are each sufficiently close to the target object to provide at least 2.5 μm resolution for an image of the field of view.

Abstract:
An ophthalmic visualization system can include an ocular lens positioned between a macular contact lens coupled to a procedure eye and a surgical microscope. The ocular lens can guide a light beam through the macular contact lens and into the procedure eye, and in combination with the macular contact lens generate an intermediate image of the procedure eye at an image plane between the procedure eye and the surgical microscope. The system can include a reduction lens positioned in the optical path between the surgical microscope and the ocular lens. The reduction lens and/or ocular lens can align a focus plane of the surgical microscope with the image plane. A method of visualizing a procedure eye in an ophthalmic procedure can include positioning an ocular lens and a reduction lens between a macular contact lens and a surgical microscope; and scanning the procedure eye with a light beam.
Abstract:
An ophthalmic visualization system can include an imaging device configured to acquire images of a surgical field; a computing device configured to determine an area of interest based on the images; and a display device in communication with the computing device and a surgical microscope, wherein the display device is configured to provide a graphical overlay onto at least a portion of a field of view of the surgical microscope, and wherein the graphical overlay includes a magnified image of the area of interest. A method of visualizing an ophthalmic procedure can include receiving images of a surgical field acquired by an imaging device; identifying an area of interest; generating a graphical overlay including a magnified image of the area of the interest; and outputting the graphical overlay to a display device such that the graphical overlay is positioned over a field of view of a surgical microscope.
