Abstract: A computer-assisted medical system includes robotic manipulators, a user input system operable to generate signals to control the manipulators, and a controller configured to execute instructions to perform operations. A portion of the user input system is movable relative to the plurality of manipulators. The operations include, in a pairing mode, associating a first manipulator of the plurality of manipulators with the portion of the user input system based on movement of the portion of the user input system relative to the first manipulator, and, in a following mode, controlling motion of the first manipulator in accordance with an indication generated by the user input system in response to operation of the portion of the user input system by a user.

Abstract: A display system includes a display panel, a first reflector, and a second reflector. The display panel provides first image light representative of a displayed image to the first reflector and provides second image light representative of at least a portion of the displayed image to the second reflector without first being reflected by the first reflector. The first reflector reflects the first image light toward the second reflector. The second reflector reflects the first image light toward an eyepiece. The second reflector is positioned relative to the second image light and a polarization direction of the second image light incident on the second reflector has a first orientation such that reflectance of a portion of the second image light from the second reflector is approximately zero. A light control device behind the display panel may control a distribution angle of image light from the display panel.

Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a viewing apparatus for a surgical device, the apparatus including a lens assembly including a first circular polarizer, a display device configured to present an image of a scene, a reflective surface oriented at an acute angle with respect to the display device such that light from the display device is reflected from the reflective surface towards the lens assembly, and a second circular polarizer configured to impart a circular polarization to the light from the display device. The first polarizer in the lens assembly is configured such that light reflected from the reflective surface passes through the first circular polarizer, and line-of-sight light reaching the first circular polarizer without being reflected from the reflective surface is substantially blocked.

Abstract: Technology described herein can be embodied in a method that includes obtaining, using an imaging device, a plurality of images of a surgical scene, each image in the plurality of images being obtained under illumination by electromagnetic radiation in one of a plurality of wavelength ranges. The plurality of wavelength ranges are at least partially non-overlapping. The method also includes identifying a set of pixel values across multiple images in the plurality of images, wherein each pixel value in the set of pixel values is substantially representative of a particular portion of the surgical scene and determining, based on the set of pixel values and a chromophore model, a concentration of a chromophore in the particular portion of the surgical scene, wherein the chromophore model represents relationships between combinations of pixel values and chromophore concentrations.

Abstract: A computer-assisted surgical system simultaneously provides visible light and alternate modality images that identify tissue or increase the visual salience of features of clinical interest that a surgeon normally uses when performing a surgical intervention using the computer-assisted surgical system. Hyperspectral light from tissue of interest is used to safely and efficiently image that tissue even though the tissue may be obscured in the normal visible image of the surgical field. The combination of visible and hyperspectral images are analyzed to provide details and information concerning the tissue or other bodily function that were not previously available.
