INTERFACE FOR VIEWING VIDEO FROM CAMERAS ON A SURGICAL VISUALIZATION SYSTEM

摘要

A surgical device includes a plurality of cameras integrated therein. The view of each of the plurality of cameras can be integrated together to provide a composite image. A surgical tool that includes an integrated camera may be used in conjunction with the surgical device. The image produced by the camera integrated with the surgical tool may be associated with the composite image generated by the plurality of cameras integrated in the surgical device. The position and orientation of the cameras and/or the surgical tool can be tracked, and the surgical tool can be rendered as transparent on the composite image. A surgical device may be powered by a hydraulic system, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference with tracking devices.

1. A surgical visualization system comprising:
a retractor configured to provide access to a surgical site; a plurality of cameras configured to acquire video images of the surgical site, at least one of the plurality of cameras being disposed on the retractor and configured to acquire video images within an opening to which the retractor provides access; and an image processing system in communication with the plurality of cameras, the image processing system comprising at least one physical processor, wherein the image processing system is configured to:
receive the video images acquired by the plurality of cameras;receive input from a user indicating a selection of at least two of the plurality of cameras, said selection being less than all of said cameras in said plurality of cameras;provide output video images based on the video images acquired by the selected cameras, the output video images being provided for simultaneous viewing; andresize or arrange the simultaneously viewable output video images from the selected cameras to present them on a display according to received input.
