Abstract

A method and apparatus for imaging features of a CBD in a patient introduces a fluorescent contrast agent into the CBD. A light source transmits both a visible light and a fluorescent light into a patient's abdominal cavity via the laparoscope. Cameras attached to or integrated into the laparoscope detect visible light images and fluorescent emission light images. The visible light image and fluorescent image signals are processed to combine the fluorescent emission light image signals and visible image signals into a single display signal. The system adjusts the display characteristics, such as color, of the fluorescent emission light image so it contrasts well with the visual light image so the surgeon can easily distinguish between the two images. The display signal is sent to a video monitor where the surgeon views the visible light image and the fluorescent image as a single overlaid image.

1.0 overview
Above the embodiment of the present invention of Zong Jieing are described in more detailed mode hereinafter, also have replaceable embodiments more of the present invention in addition.Although embodiment of the present invention described below are described in the environment of common bile duct (CBD) laparoscopic surgery, yet in replaceable embodiment of the present invention, application except that laparoscopic surgery also can replace, and can carry out similar operation to the application in the common bile duct laparoscopic surgery for execution.
Embodiment to gallbladder, cystic duct, CBD injection, perhaps by contrast agent intravenous injection and metabolism are entered bile by liver, is introduced CBD with fluorescent contrast agent by directly.Light source illuminates the light path in the peritoneoscope.Light emitted visible light and infrared (IR) light (or being called fluorescent exciting) enter the patient abdominal cavity through peritoneoscope.Fluorescent contrast agent is excited by arrowband luminous energy and produces light emission at specific band.Camera apparatus on the peritoneoscope can pass through electric wire, or passes through bluetooth (or any wireless technology) or WLAN with wireless mode, is communicated to connect to controller of camera.Camera apparatus comprises visible light detection camera and IR optical detection photographing unit.Be attached to laparoscopically photographing unit and survey visible images and fluorescent emission light image.
Visible image signal and fluorescence image signal from camera apparatus are processed, so that with fluorescence emission picture signal and the synthetic single shows signal of visual picture sets of signals, so that described two images are correctly overlapped with aiming at (or combination).System regulates the display property (for example color) of fluorescent emission light image, makes itself and visible images contrast obviously, thereby makes the surgeon can easily distinguish this two kinds of images.
Shows signal is sent to video-frequency monitor, the surgeon at this place with visible images and fluoroscopic image (or combination) image viewing as single overlapping.The surgeon can indication mechanism show fluoroscopic image with required color, thereby fluoroscopic image is correctly contrasted with visible images.
The overlapping image can be opened or closed by switch or software control by the user.System can handle several demonstrations that have different image combinations.Pick off can be contained in the photographing unit framework, and pick off allows the user to know the direction of floor or ceiling.This allows the surgeon to select and shows the orientation of photographing unit with reference to ceiling or floor.This operation to the NOTES type also is very helpful (hereinafter discussing).
System can externally or write down the visible light and the fluoroscopic image of combination on the internal digital recording equipment (for example CD, DVD, CD, hard disk or flash memory).System has Ethernet and connects, and allows the Internet or Intranet link, makes record can be formed at server or by the Internet or Intranet emission.
2.0 system architecture overviewfig
With reference to Fig. 1, as mentioned above, in the operation on gallbladder process, the surgeon inserts the abdominal cavity with the pipe 101 that some are called the trocar or port.The peritoneoscope 102 of 10mm diameter optical range is inserted into one of them port.Peritoneoscope is attached to video camera, and video camera allows surgeon and operation team to observe the inside in abdominal cavity on video screen.Long very thin equipment 103,104,105 passes other port, so that clamping, dissection and resection organization.
Fig. 2 has described the bile duct anatomical model.Common bile duct (CBD) 201 is transported to intestinal 203 with bile from liver 202 and is used for digestion.Gallbladder 204 is lateral sacks, and it is stored bile and gets into CBD 201 at table.Gallbladder 204 is attached to CBD 201 by cystic duct 205.Cystic duct 205 must be by clearly identification of surgeon, clamping or ligation, and then cuts with shears.If the surgeon thinks CBD 201 by mistake cystic duct 205, the CBD damage will take place.If the surgeon uses the electric cautery energy to make blood coagulation near CBD 201, he may damage CBD 201.
Uniquely can see that the method for CBD is to carry out intraoperative cholangiography photo (IOC) at present.This comprises: in operation, put conduit into cystic duct 205, and injection x ray contrast liquid, and use wear-type or portable fluorescence equipment, to see the x ray profile that forms by dyeing.This has provided the shape of CBD 201 and biliary tract and the indication of route.As shown in Figure 3, IOC picture 301 is displayed on the black and white screen and can be printed or preserves.Carry out IOC and be not considered to the standard of nursing, and, be not in all operations, all to carry out for the difficulty of cost, time and execution.In addition, the x ray exposure to patient and operation member also is the problem of being concerned about.The patient is exposed to the x ray emission for this specific operation process.All be exposed when carrying out this process yet operating room member is each.Yet research shows that when the surgeon carried out IOC, their patient was bearing the CBD damage of comparing half with the patient who does not carry out IOC.
Be clear that carrying out operation on gallbladder safely needs the surgeon to observe CBD.Yet, can not observe directly because it is positioned at the fatty tissue and the 1-3mm place, peritoneum below of overlapping.The method of the safest and the most effective observation CBD is in operation process, provides " on-the-spot ", real-time (or near real-time) CBD position and the image of circuit to the surgeon--be real-time IOC in essence.This allows the surgeon to know the position of CBD always, makes him can avoid unexpected or unintentional damage of CBD.This still is being unrealized before, and is because also there is not reliable and simple method, visual to the CBD that gos deep into visible surface in laparoscopic procedures.Embodiment to the bile duct imaging, and shows that the CBD image is as showing in real time for the surgeon in the operation on gallbladder process.This equipment can reduce at least 50% or more with CBD injury rate, thus approximately annual (in the U.S.) 2000 patients are saved the CBD damage torment with suffering from pain, and the whole surgery process is quickened, because CBD can be by quick identification and avoidance.
3.0 case technology and process
3.1 common bile duct imaging system
Embodiment can be built into present laparoscopically optional equipment or integrated autonomous system.Embodiment allows the surgeon to see CBD in the tram in the operation on gallbladder process.
Fig. 4 shows the embodiment of additional configurations, and additional configurations and present laparoscopically light source and video system are integrated.Fluorescence imaging module 404 is introduced IR light 407 optical channel of existing optical fiber illuminating system 403 and process peritoneoscope 406.Infrared acquisition bonder 405 is added into peritoneoscope 406, between peritoneoscope and visible light camera 409.Infrared acquisition bonder 405 comprises can be surveyed from fluorescent labeling or organize the photographing unit of the IR signal of autofluorescence.Infrared acquisition bonder 405 is communicated to connect to fluorescence imaging module 404.Adapter can be electric wire, optical fiber, wireless transmitting system or its any combination and/or quantity.Connecting line can disposablely maybe can reuse, and if the aseptic operative region of its contact, may need to be sterilized.Replacedly, the IR image can be transmitted near long-range IR photographing unit (it can be positioned at the fluorescence imaging module 404) by optical path.This is necessary under the incompatible situation of the dimensions of the size of IR photographing unit and bonder 405.
In operation process, light source 403 is through the optical fiber visible emitting in the peritoneoscope 406., fluorescence imaging module 404 is launched IR light (fluorescent exciting) simultaneously through the optical fiber in the peritoneoscope 406.Controller of camera 402 receives the visible image signal (using the true visual field of the operative region of visible light) from the existing photographing unit 409 that is mounted to peritoneoscope 406.Controller of camera 402 is treated to visible image signal the visible images shows signal and the visible images shows signal is sent to fluorescence imaging module 404.
IR (fluorescence) the light image signal that fluorescence imaging module 404 receives from infrared acquisition bonder 405.The visible images shows signal that fluorescence imaging module 404 is handled the fluorescence emission picture signal and received from controller of camera 402, to produce video output signals 408, it comprises the real-time overlapping (or combination) of fluorescence emission picture signal and visible images shows signal.Fluorescence imaging module 404 use a computer system or special microprocessor are handled the fluorescence emission picture signal with digital form, to produce the satisfactory and true lively demonstration of CBD.Fluorescence imaging module 404 can be used any known technology, and fluorescence emission picture signal and visible images shows signal are combined as the single display signal, in order that these two kinds of images are correctly overlapped with aiming at.This can comprise simple dependence common focus, at this place, two photographing units before operation, be aligned and two kinds of picture signals so that straight mode is combined, perhaps comprise and use software so that survey two kinds of common reference points in the picture signal automatically, in order that correctly aim at this two kinds of images.
Video output signals 408 is sent to video-frequency monitor 401, the surgeon at this place with visible images and fluoroscopic image image viewing as single overlapping.The surgeon can indicate fluorescence imaging module 404 to show fluoroscopic image with required color, shape or texture, so fluoroscopic image is correctly contrasted with visible images.
Replacedly, spare system can need to replace one of assembly of current peritoneoscope system, camera head 409, controller of camera 402 or light source 403.In this case, system is connected with the input or the outfan of remaining component at these equipment.
Fig. 5 has described the independently embodiment of CBD imaging system, and this system is integrated into IR light source, IR detection system, visible light source and visible images detection system complete and independently, has the peritoneoscope imaging system of enhanced optical performance.This embodiment is merged into single camera accessories 505 with visible light camera and IR photocamera, and it is attached to peritoneoscope 504 or is integrated in the peritoneoscope 504.Light source 503 all is emitted to optical fiber in the peritoneoscope 504 with visible light and IR light.Replacedly, visible light source and IR light source can be integrated in the peritoneoscope 504 itself or the trocars, to remove being connected to the demand of the optical fiber cable of peritoneoscope 504 from controller of camera 502, make the lighter and easier operation of laparoscopic apparatus thus.
In normal running, light source 503 is indicated by controller of camera 502, illuminates the light path in the peritoneoscope 504.Light source 503 is to peritoneoscope 504 (according to demand) visible emitting and infrared light.The signal that controller of camera 504 receives from the photographing unit in the peritoneoscope 504.Camera apparatus 505 can pass through electric wire, optical fiber, pass through the wireless mode of bluetooth (or any wireless technology) or WLAN, or any combination and/or its quantity, is communicated to connect to controller of camera 504.Camera apparatus 505 comprises visible light detection camera and IR optical detection photographing unit.Photographing unit in the peritoneoscope 504 is surveyed visible images and fluorescent emission light image.Replacedly, camera apparatus 505 can comprise the detector of other type, and it can finish the detection of visible images and fluorescent emission light image as photographing unit.
Visible image signal and fluorescence image signal from camera apparatus 505 are handled by controller of camera 504.As fluorescence imaging module mentioned above, controller of camera 504 can use any known technology, and fluorescence emission picture signal and visible image signal are combined into single shows signal, in order that these two kinds of images are correctly overlapped with aiming at.In this case, because two photographing units are in the camera apparatus 505 of integral body, photographing unit will have parallactic error hardly, and can aim at (factory aligned) during fabrication.Two kinds of picture signals are then to be combined to straight mode.
Photographing unit can also be aligned to common focus before operation.Replacedly, software can be used for automatically surveying the common reference points of two kinds of picture signals, so that correctly aim at this two kinds of images.
Controller of camera 504 is regulated the display property (for example color) of fluorescent emission light image, makes itself and visible images contrast obviously, so the surgeon can easily distinguish this two kinds of images.
Shows signal is sent to video-frequency monitor 501, the surgeon at this place with visible images and fluoroscopic image as single overlapping image viewing.The surgeon can indicate controller of camera 504 to show fluoroscopic image with required color, shape or texture, so fluoroscopic image is correctly contrasted with visual picture.
Replacedly, UV, visible or IR fluorescent probe can be identical CCD equipment, are used to survey visible light.Single CCD can be used to survey IR and visible light.CCD can be controlled by controller circuitry, side by side or with visible light alternately (interlacing scan detection), allow to survey the optical signal of emission.This detection can require to use passive or active filter and exchanging mechanism.Visible and fluorescent emission optical signal from CCD then will be transferred to electronic circuit, and this circuit separates fluorescent emission optical signal and visible light signal, is used for other digital processing of branch.
Modern laparoscopic cameras often has three CCD chips (red, blue, green).Three chipsets can use as described in the previous paragraph, to survey visible and fluorescent emission optical signal.Another replaceable situation is to set up the laparoscopic cameras of four-core sheet, five chips or greater number chip.Such photographing unit will comprise three and be used for the CCD chip that visible light is surveyed, and be used for any additional CCD that fluorescence signal is surveyed.As seen or the light of UV wavelength the separately special CCD that is used for the detection of fluorescence emission will be optimised be positioned at IR, NIR, so that survey.Detection can need active or passive filter and exchange control unit.Advantage will be that the fluorescent emission photo-detector can be activated and screened from the visible light controller individually.
Under the situation of the laparoscopic cameras system of one chip, three chips, four-core sheet, five chips or greater number chip, whole device will, by permanently being designed to the assembly of endoscope head, perhaps be miniaturized and be placed on the tip of endoscope, be attached to peritoneoscope, endoscope, thoracoscope or cystoscope via the regracting framework of observing on the end with the configuration of " chip on the tip ".Under all these situations, independent collar, spacer or beam splitting box will do not needed.All optical controls will be performed in the photographing unit framework.Photographing unit will be by electric wire, perhaps by bluetooth (or any wireless technology) or WLAN wirelessly, is connected to its controller box.
Figure 11 has described the embodiment with the peritoneoscope 1101 of integrated optical source 1102 and photographing unit 1103.Light source 1102 can be: standard white light modulation bubble, the light that is filtered, lamp, LED, laser instrument or the like.Light source 1102 can pass through: electric wire, internal cell or induction coupling are powered.In the inside of light source 1102 main bodys, lens combination is Radix Rumicis or narrow angle with beam shaping, and this can be selected by the user.
The variant of light source can be essentially cylindrical and have a plurality of smooth surfaces around its circumference.This shape and when not being attached to peritoneoscope 1101, helps to stop light source 1102 to tumble from table because its smooth surface can prevent to roll.
3.2 imaging system optical layout
With reference to figure 6, in embodiments, from the light and the light combination that is used for CBD 603,604 navigation and aiming of broad band source 602 (this is used for visible light camera).Target is identification CBD, and making can not have physiological damage to CBD in the process of operation on gallbladder or removal gallbladder.The light that is used to discern CBD can be: unicolor, comprise multiple monochromater or secondary color.It can be random polarization, linear polarization or circular polarization.Light source can be that be concerned with or noncoherent.Light source can be continuous wave or pulse in addition.
Light source is arranged in shell 601 (light box).In case light source uses beam splitter or synthesizer 605 combinations, their directed optical fiber 606 (this can be a fibre bundle) that enters.Optical fiber 606 1 ends are connected to light box 606, and the other end is connected to the adapter on the peritoneoscope.Adapter on the peritoneoscope has attached fibre bundle on it.In case optical signal is in optical fiber, they are directed through peritoneoscope and leave peritoneoscope and enter in patient's body.Optical signal illuminates the abdominal cavity, in this case more particularly: gallbladder, CBD and near organ.This is an excitation path.A plurality of light sources can be used for light box 601, and light source allows multiple fluorescent dye or autofluorescence to organize side by side or excite with the form of rapid succession.If the wavelength of two or more light sources overlaps, then the light source of Jiao Dieing must alternately be triggered, and makes relevant photographing unit survey correct fluoroscopic image.If do not overlap, light source can be illuminated simultaneously.
Organic material has optical characteristics unique for single material.System uses these unique characteristic identification CBD.In this case, system surveys biliary fluorescence among the CBD, adds the biliary biliary fluorescence that has fluorescent dye, the perhaps autofluorescence of tissue itself among the CBD.
Organic material absorbs photon and then sends more long wavelength's photon (Stokes shift (Stokes shift)).The light that is sent is called as fluorescence emission and can assembles by peritoneoscope.There are a series of lens, the length of extend through pipe in laparoscopically shaft portion.With reference to figure 7, light is assembled and is gone to the other end of equipment by first lens, light leaves and can be detected device from here and obtains, in this case, light is by beam splitter 704 beam split and the directed photographing unit that has specific filter, and described specific filter is blocked all light except fluorescence emission 703.In this case, these emissions are forms of image.Peritoneoscope also is converted into image with visible light, and they can be by naked eyes or are preferably seen by photographing unit.Visible light is by the photographing unit of beam splitter 704 beam split and sensing visible images 702.Photographing unit can be that the quantity of individual chip and photographing unit can vary depending on the application.The focusing arrangement (not shown) can be positioned over photographing unit 702,703 fronts, in order that proofread and correct any beam aberration that occurs in the light path.Light by the beam splitter beam split to particular camera.
Compact framework 701 is optionally and can be used for front independently embodiment shown in Figure 5.If use additional embodiment shown in Figure 4, can not adopt compact framework 701.
Two kinds of images, (i.e. the navigation with aiming) of visible and fluorescence superposeed in real time each other, so the surgeon can see CBD and can not damage it.
4.0 common bile duct fluorescence and demonstration
The CBD imaging system comprises following steps:
1. the fluoroscopic visualization material is placed among the CBD.
2. using can be that ultraviolet, light source infrared or visible light come excitation fluorescent material.
3. detection fluorescence.
4. processing fluoroscopic image is to remove illusion and scattering.
5. show real operation image and fluoroscopic image in real time together, on monitor, clearly show the position of CBD for the surgeon.
The fluoroscopic visualization material is placed in the bile duct.
Fluorescent agent can be fluorescigenic any medicament in ultraviolet, visible or infrared (IR) scope.This medicament can be an optically active substance, for example indole viridescent (ICG), fluorescein, methylene blue, isosulfan blue, perhaps any new visible medium or labelling based on fluorescence or color.If fluorescent agent is arranged into bile (for example ICG), fluorescent agent can be used to enter the venous mode before operation or in the operation.Under the situation of ICG, provide to comprise biomarker, the biocompatible solution that is used to inject, and the necessary pipe and the mean for applying of instruction.The time that IV uses before the operation of ICG is 40-60 minute before the operation beginning.ICG can be used as part chemistry " cocktail " injection, and the optical characteristics of ICG can be optimized, strengthens or be changed to chemistry " cocktail ".
With reference to figure 2 and 8, replacedly, fluorescent contrast agent can be put into CBD by direct injection gallbladder 204, cystic duct 205 or CBD 201.Because gallbladder away from CBD, injects gallbladder with medicament and has easily, do not need to dissect in advance and safe advantage.There is special equipment 801, liquid injected gallbladder 802 and then to inject CBD (as U.S. Patent No. 5,224,931 is described).
Select as another, new laparoscopic device can be specifically designed to the fluoroscopic visualization material is injected gallbladder.Such equipment can have the axle of 5mm diameter, the pawl of clamping gallbladder, and the passage of injection fluorescent material.Injection catheter can separate or cross pawl with pawl, make that fluorescent material can directly be injected gallbladder and not overflow (stinging the spitting image of Serpentis) when gallbladder is held.
Fluorescent material can also be introduced into CBD through cystic duct 205 (cystic duct is connected to CBD with gallbladder) rather than through gallbladder 204.For this reason, cystic duct is freely dissected with standard mode, is used for standard intraoperative cholangiography photo (IOC).The IOC conduit is put into bile duct, fixing, and contrast agent is injected into cystic duct and then injects CBD.Embodiment makes the CBD imaging on this, however its successfully dissect Choledochal before needing, before the CBD imaging, the patient is exposed in the dangerous process of certain (if not very big) thus.
With light energy source fluorescence excitation contrast agent
Medicament can be comprised the optical excitation of the different wave length of ultraviolet (UV), visible or infrared (IR).Energy source can be one or more wide spectrum lamps, one or more laser instrument or one or more light emitting diode (LED).Described energy source is called the arrowband energy source at this.Typically, the narrow wavelength band in UV, IR or the visible-range is used to excite specific fluorescence molecule.The arrowband energy source can be a part peritoneoscope light source, perhaps can adopt the distinct methods that light is pointed to tissue, is loaded into independent framework.
As mentioned above, the arrowband energy source is coupled to the peritoneoscope light source by the optical coupling box, visible light and narrow band light is combined in to be connected in the laparoscopically existing optical fiber thus.Replacedly, narrow-band light source can be passed through complete isolating photosystem, for example second peritoneoscope, dedicated optical probe, perhaps by the active trocar of one or more optics, with optical projection to tissue.Narrow-band light source can produce luminous energy on one or more narrow wavelength, and its intensity and wavelength are that the user is adjustable.
If there is not fluorescent agent to be used, the arrowband energy source can be used to change the type that projects to the visible light on the operative region.The light of one or more wavelength has or does not have white light, all can be used to illuminate operative region.This effect can be used for strengthening contrast, the degree of depth, the difference of different tissues, and this depends on its optical reflectivity, absorption characteristic and autofluorescence.If (substitute peritoneoscope or additional to peritoneoscope) projection only from one or more independent sources, then the color of light, intensity and spatial distribution can be controlled by the user and change, and reaching multiple radiography effect, thereby strengthen depth perception.The Electronic Control box that needs to specialize is used for this, and the user can use stick, switch or knob to control the illumination factor of being mentioned.Being used in combination of the light of different colours and intensity together with the change of the spatial distribution of light source, can and be organized at depth perception and help the surgeon aspect the difference.
In an embodiment, the light combined I CG preserved material with producing from the IR laser instrument of light box (as mentioned above)/led light source produces enough fluorescence so that by existing laparoscopic cameras system imaging, and needn't add IR optical detection photographing unit to peritoneoscope.Thus, this embodiment will add ICG preserved material/equipment and discharge and aforesaid IR laser instrument/LED light box, and does not have additional camera arrangement.The surgeon can use existing laparoscopic cameras and monitor to observe operative region, can also observe the image of the CBD in the operative region.
Survey contrast agent
Fluorescent contrast agent is excited by arrowband luminous energy and produces light emission at specific band.The energy of emission can be introduced endoscope, peritoneoscope, thoracoscope, cystoscope, operating microscope or second optical probe of body cavity for this purpose and be caught.If desired, then isolate by beam splitter or other light filter apparatus through the luminous energy of above-mentioned capture device, and directed detector.The method of surveying fluorescent contrast agent has been discussed above.Specific wave filter can be used for filtering unwanted optical wavelength from the luminous energy of assembling, to strengthen the detection of fluorescent material.Wave filter can be static or variable, and can be controlled by electronic controller.
Handle fluoroscopic image
In case survey and be converted to digital signal, the fluorescent emission optical signal is through microprocessor or computer, to extract crucial tissue image information.This processing can use software algorithm to strengthen image, changes size of images, shape and texture, changes the color of image, and/or change computer and produce the image of drawing.All these parameters can or arrange a predetermined group selection by user's adjusting, to satisfy different user preferences.
Show real operation image and fluoroscopic image
With reference to figure 9, show the image of series of displays visible images and fluorescent emission light image.Come from the numeral output of handling the fluorescent emission optical signal and make up, overlap with the no seam that produces two kinds of images with digital form and visible images.The combination of image and/or overlapping can be carried out by the software in computer or the microprocessor.The parameter that overlaps and the existence of every kind of image layer are at user option.
Visible/the fluoroscopic image of combination is presented on existing standard peritoneoscope CRT, display, video-frequency monitor, flat faced display, projector or the Helmet Mounted Display.The digital picture of combination with current market on the form output of standard monitor compatibility.The overlapping image can be opened or closed by switch or software control by the user, and switch or software control can be alternately by voice activations.The overlapping image presents image, and its presentation mode makes the surgeon to see the position of CBD by the fluorescent emission that comes from any normal direction visual angle when its work.Some surgeon may like having two monitors, and one does not overlap image and another has the overlapping image.System can handle multiple demonstration with the various combination of image.System can also show the overlapping image with the visible images that picture-in-picture mode shows, any image can show as master image in picture-in-picture mode, and the little image in other show as sprite.
The visible images 901 of bile duct and tremulous pulse top tissue is not illustrated with having overlapping.The fluoroscopic image 902 same nothings of bile duct and tremulous pulse are not illustrated with overlapping.Two types image does not have to pass on enough information to the surgeon alone.The combination of two kinds of images allows the surgeon to describe under the tissue and what tissue itself is.The mode 903 that normal and enhanced bile duct image overlaps with essence together is presented on the operation image, so even be positioned under the tissue of overlapping, CBD also is visible for the surgeon.The surgeon can use the image of overlapping now, avoids damaging CBD.
When the image overlapping was activated, visible images can change on color and/or intensity, to emphasize fluoroscopic image.Fluoroscopic image can be changed into any color of wanting by the user.Because fluoroscopic image is endoceliac fluorescence, fluoroscopic image is easy to be enhanced.
The software that is used for Flame Image Process allows the user before operation, after the operation neutralization operation, configuration and control CBD visualization system.This control can be performed by computer keyboard, special-purpose keyseat, touch screen, foot switch, sound control, head up displays or the like.Control can be provided for the surgeon as foot switch on the floor in the sterilization overcoat of for example plastic closure, perhaps the nurse that can be walked uses with non-sterilizing equipment decontaminating apparatus.
