Method And System To Sense Relative Partial-Pose Information Using A Shape Sensor

View page
US Patent:
8488130, Jul 16, 2013
Filed:
Nov 13, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/618082
Inventors:
Vincent Duindam - Mountain View CA, US
Giuseppe Maria Prisco - Mountain View CA, US
Theodore W. Rogers - Alameda CA, US
John Ryan Steger - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
G01B 11/14
A61B 1/00
US Classification:
356614, 600104
Abstract:
A shape-sensing segment traverses through at least a portion of a kinematic chain of a tele-operated slave surgical instrument in a tele-operated minimally-invasive surgical system. The shape-sensing segment includes a pre-set perturbation. Shape information from the pre-set perturbation allows determination of relative partial-pose information for at least one link in the kinematic chain.

Method And System For Providing Visual Guidance To An Operator For Steering A Tip Of An Endoscopic Device Toward One Or More Landmarks In A Patient

View page
US Patent:
20100249507, Sep 30, 2010
Filed:
Mar 26, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/411515
Inventors:
Giuseppe Prisco - Mountain View CA, US
Vincent Duindam - Oakland CA, US
Assignee:
Intuitive Surgical, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61B 1/01
US Classification:
600117
Abstract:
Landmark directional guidance is provided to an operator of an endoscopic device by displaying graphical representations of vectors adjacent a current image captured by an image capturing device disposed at a tip of the endoscopic device and being displayed at the time on a display screen, wherein the graphical representations of the vectors point in directions that the endoscope tip is to be steered in order to move towards associated landmarks such as anatomic structures in a patient.

Arm With A Combined Shape And Force Sensor

View page
US Patent:
20100332030, Dec 30, 2010
Filed:
Jun 24, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/490487
Inventors:
DAVID Q. LARKIN - Menlo Park CA, US
Vincent Duindam - Oakland CA, US
Assignee:
Intuitive Surgical, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
700245
Abstract:
A bend sensor is used to determine force applied to a robotic arm. The force may be an external force applied to the arm, an internal actuation force, or both. In some aspects, a stiffening element is used to restore the arm to a minimum kinematic energy state. In other aspects, the stiffening element is eliminated, and the arm is fully actuated.

Method And System For Absolute Three-Dimensional Measurements Using A Twist-Insensitive Shape Sensor

View page
US Patent:
20110202069, Aug 18, 2011
Filed:
Jul 20, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/839642
Inventors:
Giuseppe M. Prisco - Mountain View CA, US
Theodore W. Rogers - Alameda CA, US
Vincent Duindam - Mountain View CA, US
Myriam J. Curet - Los Altos CA, US
Catherine J. Mohr - Mountain View CA, US
Katherine D. Stoy - Mountain View CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 19/00
US Classification:
606130, 606 1
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a reference fixture. The reference fixture includes a joint, and a joint tracker to track motion of the joint. The apparatus also includes a surgical instrument. A tether is connected between the joint and the surgical instrument. A shape sensor extends from the reference fixture through the joint, through the tether, and into the surgical instrument. The shape sensor is substantially free of twist. The joint tracker measures the motion of the joint. Information from the shape sensor in combination with information from the joint tracker provides absolute three-dimensional information relative to the reference fixture, i.e., provides absolute three-dimensional information in a fixed world reference frame.

Medical System Providing Dynamic Registration Of A Model Of An Anatomical Structure For Image-Guided Surgery

View page
US Patent:
20120289777, Nov 15, 2012
Filed:
May 13, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/107562
Inventors:
Prashant Chopra - Sunnyvale CA, US
Caitlin Q. Donhowe - Sunnyvale CA, US
Vincent Duindam - Oakland CA, US
Giuseppe Maria Prisco - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61B 1/00
G06K 9/00
A61B 1/04
US Classification:
600109, 600117, 382128
Abstract:
A medical system provides navigation assistance to a surgeon so that the surgeon may navigate a flexible medical device through linked passages of an anatomical structure to a target in or adjacent to the anatomical structure. As the medical device moves through the linked passages, images are captured by an image capturing element at its distal end and pose and shape information for the medical device are received from sensors disposed in the medical device. A 4-D computer model of the anatomical structure is registered to the medical device using one or both of 4-D shape registration and virtual camera registration so that the captured image and a virtual image generated from the perspective of a virtual camera are registered to each other and displayed while providing an indication of a navigational path to the target.

Medical System With Multiple Operating Modes For Steering A Medical Instrument Through Linked Body Passages

View page
US Patent:
20120289783, Nov 15, 2012
Filed:
May 13, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/107052
Inventors:
Vincent DUINDAM - Oakland CA, US
Giuseppe Maria PRISCO - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61B 1/00
US Classification:
600118
Abstract:
A controller operates in different operating modes to control movement of a distal tip of a medical instrument when inserting and retracting the medical instrument through linked body passages. When inserting the medical instrument, the controller normally operates in an automatic navigation mode unless manually overridden to operate in a manual mode. When retracting the medical instrument, the controller normally operates in a zero-force mode to allow the distal tip to freely move so that it may comply with the shape of the passages as the medical instrument is being retracted through the linked body unless manually overridden to operate in a manual mode.

Method And System For Determining Information Of Extrema During Expansion And Contraction Cycles Of An Object

View page
US Patent:
20120289843, Nov 15, 2012
Filed:
Nov 15, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/297066
Inventors:
Prashant Chopra - Sunnyvale CA, US
Caitlin Q. Donhowe - Sunnyvale CA, US
Vincent Duindam - Mountain View CA, US
Giuseppe Maria Prisco - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61B 5/11
A61B 5/02
A61B 1/00
A61B 5/113
US Classification:
600508, 600595, 600534, 600593, 600481, 600117
Abstract:
A medical system provides navigation assistance to a surgeon for navigating a flexible medical device through linked passages of an anatomical structure to a target area. For tracking, navigation, and other purposes, information of extrema is determined during expansion and contraction cycles of an object by receiving time sampled information from sensors distributed along a length of a flexible device so as to indicate the shape of the device over time while the device extends through a lumen of the object so as to conform to and resemble the shape of the lumen, displacements over time of a selected point at a selected insertion length of the flexible device into the lumen of the object relative to a reference point are determined, extrema time points are determined by identifying sign changes of the slope of the determined displacements over time, and extrema types are determined using extrema type characteristics.

Catheter With Removable Vision Probe

View page
US Patent:
20130096377, Apr 18, 2013
Filed:
Oct 14, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/274208
Inventors:
VINCENT DUINDAM - Mountain View CA, US
CATHERINE J. MOHR - Mountain View CA, US
CAROLYN M. FENECH - San Jose CA, US
GIUSEPPE MARIA PRISCO - Mountain View CA, US
KWOK WAI SAMUEL AU - Mountain View CA, US
CAITLIN Q. DONHOWE - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61B 1/00
US Classification:
600104
Abstract:
A medical system includes a catheter and a vision probe that can be removed from the catheter and replaced with a medical probe. The vision probe can thus be used to steer and pose the catheter, and then be removed and replaced with the medical probe when a medical task such as a lung biopsy is performed. A sensor system in the catheter at least partly measures a pose of the catheter, and control logic controls actuation of the catheter to maintain the desired working configuration when the medical probe is used. A small diameter catheter can thus provide vision and biopsy functionality.
