在详细说明外科可视化平台的各个方面之前,应当指出,例示性示例在应用或使用上不限于附图和说明书中所示出的部件的构造和布置的细节。例示性示例可在其他方面、变型和修改中实现或并入,并且可以各种方式实践或执行。此外,除非另外指明,否则本文所用的术语和表达是为了方便读者而对例示性示例进行描述而所选的,并非为了限制性的目的。而且,应当理解,以下描述的方面、方面的表达和/或示例中的一者或多者可与其他以下描述的方面、方面的表达和/或示例中的任何一者或多者组合。
本公开涉及外科可视化平台,该外科可视化平台利用“数字外科”来获得关于患者的解剖结构和/或外科手术的附加信息。该外科可视化平台被进一步配置成能够以有帮助的方式将数据和/或信息传达给一个或多个临床医生。例如,本公开的各个方面提供了患者的解剖结构和/或外科手术的改善的可视化。
“数字外科”可涵盖机器人系统、高级成像、高级仪器、人工智能、机器学习、用于性能跟踪和基准测试的数据分析、手术室(OR)内部和外部两者的连接性以及更多。尽管本文所述的各种外科可视化平台可与机器人外科系统结合使用,但是外科可视化平台不限于与机器人外科系统一起使用。在某些情况下,高级外科可视化可在没有机器人以及/或者具有有限的和/或任选的机器人辅助的情况下进行。类似地,数字外科可在没有机器人以及/或者具有有限的和/或任选的机器人辅助的情况下进行。
在某些情况下,结合有外科可视化平台的外科系统可实现智能解剖以便识别和避开关键结构。关键结构包括解剖结构诸如输尿管、动脉诸如肠系膜上动脉、静脉诸如门静脉、神经诸如膈神经和/或肿瘤等解剖结构。在其他情况下,关键结构可以是例如解剖场中的外来结构,诸如外科装置、外科紧固件、夹具、大头钉、探条、带和/或板。关键结构可基于不同患者和/或不同手术来确定。本文还描述了示例性关键结构。例如,智能解剖技术可提供用于解剖的改善的术中指导,并且/或者可利用关键解剖结构检测和避开技术来实现智能决策。
结合有外科可视化平台的外科系统还可实现智能吻合技术,该智能吻合技术利用改善的工作流程在最佳位置处提供更一致的吻合。也可利用本文所述的各种外科可视化平台和手术来改善癌症定位技术。例如,癌症定位技术可识别和跟踪癌症位置、取向及其边界。在某些情况下,癌症定位技术可在外科手术期间补偿工具、患者和/或患者的解剖结构的移动,以便为临床医生提供回到感兴趣的点的指导。
在本公开的某些方面,外科可视化平台可提供改善的组织表征和/或淋巴结诊断和标测。例如,组织表征技术可在不需要物理触觉的情况下表征组织类型和健康,特别是当在组织内解剖和/或放置缝合装置时。本文所述的某些组织表征技术可在没有电离辐射和/或造影剂的情况下使用。关于淋巴结诊断和标测,外科可视化平台可在术前定位、标测和理想地诊断涉及例如癌性诊断和分期的淋巴系统和/或淋巴结。
这些和其他相关主题在本文和/或前述同时提交的美国专利申请中有所描述,这些专利申请全文以引用方式并入本文。
在外科手术期间,临床医生可经由“肉眼”和/或成像系统获得的信息可提供外科部位的不完整视图。例如,某些结构(诸如嵌入或掩埋在器官内的结构)可至少部分地被隐蔽或隐藏起来使其不被看见。另外,某些尺寸和/或相对距离可能难以利用现有的传感器系统探知和/或难以让“肉眼”感知。此外,某些结构可在术前(例如,在外科手术之前但在术前扫描之后)和/或术中移动。在此类情况下,临床医生可能无法在术中准确地确定关键结构的位置。
当关键结构的方位不确定时和/或当关键结构与外科工具之间的接近度未知时,临床医生的决策过程可能受到阻碍。例如,临床医生可避开某些区域,以便避免意外解剖关键结构;然而,所避开的区域可能不必要地较大和/或至少部分地错位。由于不确定性和/或过于/过度谨慎操作,临床医生可能无法进入某些期望的区域。例如,过度谨慎可能导致临床医生留下肿瘤和/或其他不期望的组织的一部分,以企图避开关键结构,即使关键结构不在该特定区域中和/或不会受到在该特定区域中工作的临床医生的负面影响。在某些情况下,可通过增加知识和/或确定性来改善外科结果,这可使得外科医生在特定解剖区域方面更加准确,并且在某些情况下,使得外科医生不那么保守/更有进取性。
在各个方面,本公开提供了用于术中识别和避开关键结构的外科可视化系统。在一个方面,本公开提供了一种外科可视化系统,该外科可视化系统实现了加强的术中决策和改善的外科结果。在各个方面,所公开的外科可视化系统提供了高级可视化能力,超出临床医生用“肉眼”所见的内容以及/或者超出成像系统可识别和/或传达给临床医生的内容。各种外科可视化系统可增强和加强临床医生在组织治疗(例如,解剖)之前能够知道的内容,并且因此可在各种情况下改善结果。
例如,可视化系统可包括被配置成能够发射多个光谱波的第一光发射器、被配置成能够发射光图案的第二光发射器以及被配置成能够检测可见光、对光谱波的分子响应(光谱成像)和/或光图案的一个或多个接收器或传感器。外科可视化系统还可包括成像系统以及与接收器和成像系统信号通信的控制电路。基于来自接收器的输出,控制电路可确定外科部位处可见表面的几何表面标测图(即三维表面形貌)以及相对于外科部位的一个或多个距离。在某些情况下,控制电路可确定到至少部分隐蔽的结构的一个或多个距离。此外,成像系统可将几何表面标测图和一个或多个距离传达给临床医生。在此类情况下,提供给临床医生的外科部位的增强视图可提供外科部位的相关环境内的隐蔽结构的表示。例如,成像系统可在隐蔽和/或阻挡组织的几何表面标测图上虚拟地增强隐蔽结构,类似于在地面上绘制的线以指示表面下方的实用线。另外或另选地,成像系统可传达一个或多个外科工具与可见的阻挡组织和/或与至少部分隐蔽的结构的接近度以及/或者隐蔽结构在阻挡组织的可见表面下方的深度。例如,可视化系统可确定相对于可见组织的表面上的增强线的距离,并且将该距离传达到成像系统。
在本公开的各个方面,公开了用于术中识别和避开关键结构的外科可视化系统。此类外科可视化系统可在外科手术期间向临床医生提供有价值的信息。因此,例如,临床医生知道外科可视化系统正在跟踪例如可在解剖期间接近的关键结构(诸如输尿管、特定神经和/或关键血管),可在整个外科手术过程中确信地保持动力。在一个方面,外科可视化系统可在足够长的时间内向临床医生提供指示,以使临床医生暂停和/或减慢外科手术并且评估与关键结构的接近度,以防止对其造成意外损坏。外科可视化系统可向临床医生提供理想的、优化的和/或可定制的信息量,以允许临床医生确信地和/或快速地移动穿过组织,同时避免对健康组织和/或关键结构造成意外损坏,并且因此最小化由外科手术引起的伤害风险。
图1是根据本公开的至少一个方面的外科可视化系统100的示意图。外科可视化系统100可在解剖场内创建关键结构101的视觉表示。外科可视化系统100可用于例如临床分析和/或医疗干预。在某些情况下,外科可视化系统100可在术中使用,以在外科手术期间向临床医生提供关于接近度数据、尺寸和/或距离的实时或接近实时的信息。外科可视化系统100被配置用于在术中识别关键结构和/或有利于外科装置避开关键结构101。例如,通过识别关键结构101,临床医生可避免在外科手术期间在关键结构101和/或关键结构101的预定接近度中的区域周围操纵外科装置。例如,临床医生可避免对例如被识别为关键结构101的静脉、动脉、神经和/或血管进行解剖和/或避免在这些关键结构附近进行解剖。在各种情况下,关键结构101可基于不同患者和/或不同手术来确定。
外科可视化系统100结合距离传感器系统104结合有组织识别和几何表面标测。结合起来,外科可视化系统100的这些特征可确定关键结构101在解剖场内的方位以及/或者外科装置102与可见组织的表面105和/或与关键结构101的接近度。此外,外科可视化系统100包括成像系统,该成像系统包括例如被配置成能够提供外科部位的实时视图的成像装置120,诸如相机。在各种情况下,成像装置120是光谱相机(例如,高光谱相机、多光谱相机或选择性光谱相机),该光谱相机被配置成能够检测反射的光谱波形并且基于对不同波长的分子响应来生成图像的光谱立方体。来自成像装置120的视图可被提供给临床医生,并且在本公开的各个方面,可基于组织识别、地形标测和距离传感器系统104用附加信息来增强这些视图。在此类情况下,外科可视化系统100包括多个子系统,即成像子系统、表面标测子系统、组织识别子系统和/或距离确定子系统。这些子系统可配合以在术中向临床医生提供高级数据合成和集成信息。
成像装置可包括相机或成像传感器,该相机或成像传感器被配置成能够检测例如可见光、光谱光波(可见光或不可见光)和结构化光图案(可见光或不可见光)。在本公开的各个方面,成像系统可包括例如成像装置,诸如内窥镜。另外或另选地,成像系统可包括例如成像装置,诸如关节镜、血管镜、支气管镜、胆道镜、结肠镜、膀胱镜、十二指肠镜、肠镜、食管胃-十二指肠镜(胃镜)、喉镜、鼻咽-肾镜、乙状结肠镜、胸腔镜、输尿管镜或外镜。在其他情况下,诸如在开放外科手术应用中,成像系统可不包括观察镜。
在本公开的各个方面,组织识别子系统可用光谱成像系统来实现。光谱成像系统可依赖于例如高光谱成像、多光谱成像或选择性光谱成像。组织的高光谱成像进一步在2016年3月1日公布的名称为“SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GROSS ANATOMIC PATHOLOGY USINGHYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING”的美国专利9,274,047中描述,该专利全文以引用方式并入本文。
在本公开的各个方面,表面标测子系统可用光图案系统来实现,如本文进一步所述。光图案(或结构化光)用于表面标测是已知的。已知的表面标测技术可用于本文所述的外科可视化系统中。
结构化光是将已知图案(通常为网格或水平条)投射到表面上的过程。2017年3月2日公布的名称为“SET COMPRISING A SURGICAL INSTRUMENT”的美国专利申请公布2017/0055819以及2017年9月7日公布的名称为“DEPICTION SYSTEM”的美国专利申请公布2017/0251900公开了一种外科系统,该外科系统包括光源以及用于投射光图案的投射仪。2017年3月2日公布的名称为“SET COMPRISING A SURGICAL INSTRUMENT”的美国专利申请公布2017/0055819以及2017年9月7日公布的名称为“DEPICTION SYSTEM”的美国专利申请公布2017/0251900全文以引用方式并入本文。
在本公开的各个方面,距离确定系统可结合到表面标测系统中。例如,可利用结构化光来生成可见表面的三维虚拟模型并且确定相对于可见表面的各种距离。另外或另选地,距离确定系统可依赖于飞行时间测量来确定到外科部位处所识别的组织(或其他结构)的一个或多个距离。
图2是可与外科可视化系统100一起使用的控制系统133的示意图。控制系统133包括与存储器134信号通信的控制电路132。存储器134存储可由控制电路132执行的指令,以确定和/或识别关键结构(例如,图1中的关键结构101),确定和/或计算一个或多个距离和/或三维数字表示,并将某些信息传送给一个或多个临床医生。例如,存储器134存储表面标测逻辑部件136、成像逻辑部件138、组织识别逻辑部件140或距离确定逻辑部件141或者逻辑部件136、138、140和141的任何组合。控制系统133还包括成像系统142,该成像系统具有一个或多个相机144(如图1中的成像装置120)、一个或多个显示器146或者一个或多个控件148或者这些元件的任何组合。相机144可包括一个或多个图像传感器135,以接收来自发射各种可见光谱和不可见光谱下的光的各种光源(例如,可见光、光谱成像器、三维透镜等)的信号。显示器146可包括一个或多个屏幕或监视器,用于向一个或多个临床医生描绘真实、虚拟和/或虚拟增强的图像和/或信息。
在各个方面,相机144的心脏是图像传感器135。一般来讲,现代图像传感器135是包含高达数百万个离散光电探测器位点(称为像素)的固态电子装置。图像传感器135技术属于以下两类中的一类:电荷耦合器件(CCD)和互补金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)成像器,并且近来,短波红外(SWIR)是一种新兴的成像技术。另一种类型的图像传感器135采用混合CCD/CMOS架构(以名称“sCMOS”出售),并且由凸块粘结到CCD成像基板的CMOS读出集成电路(ROIC)组成。CCD和CMOS图像传感器135对大约350nm至1050nm的波长敏感,但该范围通常被给出为400nm至1000nm。一般来讲,CMOS传感器比CCD传感器对IR波长更敏感。固态图像传感器135基于光电效应,并且因此不能区分颜色。因此,存在两种类型的彩色CCD相机:单芯片和三芯片。单芯片彩色CCD相机提供常见的低成本成像解决方案,并且使用马赛克(例如,拜耳)光学滤光器将入射光分成一系列颜色,并且采用内插算法来解析全色图像。然后,每种颜色指向不同的像素集。三芯片彩色CCD相机通过采用棱镜将入射光谱的每个部分引导到不同的芯片来提供更高的分辨率。更准确的颜色再现是可能的,因为物体的空间中的每个点具有单独的RGB强度值,而不是使用算法来确定颜色。三芯片相机提供极高的分辨率。
控制系统133还包括光谱光源150和结构化光源152。在某些情况下,单个源可以是脉冲式的,以发射光谱光源150范围内的光的波长和结构化光源152范围内的光的波长。另选地,单个光源可以是脉冲式的,以提供不可见光谱中的光(例如红外光谱光)和可见光谱上的光的波长。光谱光源150可以是例如高光谱光源、多光谱光源和/或选择性光谱光源。在各种情况下,组织识别逻辑部件140可经由由相机144的图像传感器135部分接收的来自光谱光源150的数据来识别关键结构。表面标测逻辑部件136可基于反射的结构化光来确定可见组织的表面轮廓。利用飞行时间测量结果,距离确定逻辑部件141可确定到可见组织和/或关键结构101的一个或多个距离。来自表面标测逻辑部件136、组织识别逻辑部件140和距离确定逻辑部件141的一个或多个输出可被提供给成像逻辑部件138,并且可被组合、共混和/或重叠以经由成像系统142的显示器146传达给临床医生。

在一个方面,关键结构101可嵌入组织103中。换句话说,关键结构101可定位在组织103的表面105下方。在此类情况下,组织103隐蔽关键结构101使其不被临床医生看见。从成像装置120的视角来看,关键结构101也被组织103遮蔽。组织103可以是例如脂肪、结缔组织、粘连和/或器官。在其他情况下,关键结构101可被部分地遮蔽使其不被看见。

外科可视化系统100的成像装置120被配置成能够检测各种波长的光,诸如例如可见光、光谱光波(可见光或不可见光)和结构化光图案(可见光或不可见光)。成像装置120可包括用于检测不同信号的多个透镜、传感器和/或接收器。例如,成像装置120可以是高光谱、多光谱或选择性光谱相机,如本文进一步所述。成像装置120还可包括波形传感器122(诸如光谱图像传感器、检测器和/或三维相机透镜)。例如,成像装置120可包括一起使用以同时记录两个二维图像的右侧透镜和左侧透镜,并且因此生成外科部位的三维图像,渲染外科部位的三维图像,并且/或者确定外科部位处的一个或多个距离。另外或另选地,成像装置120可被配置成能够接收指示可见组织的形貌以及隐藏关键结构的识别和方位的图像,如本文进一步所述。例如,成像装置120的视场可与组织的表面105上的光(结构化光)的图案重叠,如图1所示。
在一个方面,外科可视化系统100可结合到机器人系统110中。例如,机器人系统110可包括第一机器人臂112和第二机器人臂114。机器人臂112、114包括刚性结构构件116和接头118,这些接头可包括伺服马达控件。第一机器人臂112被配置成能够操纵外科装置102,并且第二机器人臂114被配置成能够操纵成像装置120。机器人控制单元可被配置成能够向机器人臂112、114发出控制运动,这些控制运动可影响例如外科装置102和成像装置120。
外科可视化系统100还包括发射器106,该发射器被配置成能够发射光的图案,诸如条纹、网格线和/或点,以使得能够确定表面105的形貌或地形。例如,投射光阵列130可用于表面105上的三维扫描和配准。投射光阵列130可从位于例如外科装置102和/或机器人臂112、114中的一者和/或成像装置120上的发射器106发射。在一个方面,投射光阵列130用于确定由组织103的表面105和/或表面105在术中的运动限定的形状。成像装置120被配置成能够检测从表面105反射的投射光阵列130,以确定表面105的形貌以及相对于表面105的各种距离。
在一个方面,成像装置120还可包括光学波形发射器123,该光学波形发射器被配置成能够发射可穿透组织103的表面105并到达关键结构101的电磁辐射124(NIR光子)。成像装置120及其上的光学波形发射器123可能够由机器人臂114定位。成像装置120上的对应波形传感器122(例如,图像传感器、光谱仪或振动传感器)被配置成能够检测由波形传感器122接收的电磁辐射的影响。由光学波形发射器123发射的电磁辐射124的波长可被配置成能够使得能够识别解剖结构和/或物理结构(诸如关键结构101)的类型。关键结构101的识别可通过例如光谱分析、光声学和/或超声来实现。在一个方面,电磁辐射124的波长可以是可变的。波形传感器122和光学波形发射器123可包括例如多光谱成像系统和/或选择性光谱成像系统。在其他情况下,波形传感器122和光学波形发射器123可包括例如光声学成像系统。在其他情况下,光学波形发射器123可定位在与成像装置120分开的外科装置上。
外科可视化系统100还可包括距离传感器系统104,该距离传感器系统被配置成能够确定外科部位处的一个或多个距离。在一个方面,飞行时间距离传感器系统104可以是包括发射器(诸如发射器106)以及可定位在外科装置102上的接收器108的飞行时间距离传感器系统。在其他情况下,飞行时间发射器可与结构化光发射器分开。在一个一般方面,飞行时间距离传感器系统104的发射器106部分可包括非常微小的激光源,并且飞行时间距离传感器系统104的接收器108部分可包括匹配传感器。飞行时间距离传感器系统104可检测“飞行时间”或由发射器106发射的激光反弹回到接收器108的传感器部分所花费的时间。在发射器106中使用非常窄的光源使得距离传感器系统104能够确定到距离传感器系统104正前方的组织103的表面105的距离。仍然参见图1,de是从发射器106到组织103的表面105的发射器-组织距离,并且dt是从外科装置102的远侧端部到组织的表面105的装置-组织距离。距离传感器系统104可用于确定发射器-组织距离de。装置-组织距离dt可根据发射器106在外科装置102的轴上相对于外科装置102的远侧端部的已知方位获得。换句话讲,当发射器106与外科装置102的远侧端部之间的距离已知时,装置-组织距离dt可根据发射器-组织距离de确定。在某些情况下,外科装置102的轴可包括一个或多个关节运动接头,并且可能够相对于发射器106和钳口进行关节运动。关节运动构型可包括例如多接头椎骨状结构。在某些情况下,三维相机可用于对到表面105的一个或多个距离进行三角测量。
在各种情况下,飞行时间距离传感器系统104的接收器108可安装在单独的外科装置上而不是外科装置102上。例如,接收器108可安装在插管或套管针上,外科装置102延伸穿过该插管或套管针以到达外科部位。在其他情况下,飞行时间距离传感器系统104的接收器108可安装在单独的机器人控制的臂(例如,机器人臂114)上,安装在由另一个机器人操作的可移动臂上和/或安装到手术室(OR)工作台或固定装置。在某些情况下,成像装置120包括飞行时间接收器108,以使用外科装置102上的发射器106与成像装置120之间的线来确定从发射器106到组织103的表面105的距离。例如,可基于飞行时间距离传感器系统104的发射器106(在外科装置102上)和接收器108(在成像装置120上)的已知方位来对距离de进行三角测量。接收器108的三维方位可以是已知的和/或在术中与机器人坐标平面配准。
在某些情况下,飞行时间距离传感器系统104的发射器106的方位可由第一机器人臂112控制,并且飞行时间距离传感器系统104的接收器108的方位可由第二机器人臂114控制。在其他情况下,外科可视化系统100可与机器人系统分开使用。在此类情况下,距离传感器系统104可独立于机器人系统。
在某些情况下,机器人臂112、114中的一者或多者可与外科手术中使用的主机器人系统分开。机器人臂112、114中的至少一者可在没有伺服马达控件的情况下定位并与特定坐标系配准。例如,用于机器人臂110的闭环控制系统和/或多个传感器可控制和/或配准机器人臂112、114相对于特定坐标系的方位。类似地,外科装置102和成像装置120的方位可相对于特定坐标系配准。
仍然参见图1,dw是从位于成像装置120上的光学波形发射器123到关键结构101的表面的相机-关键结构距离,并且dA是关键结构101在组织103的表面105下方的深度(即,表面105的最靠近外科装置102的部分与关键结构101之间的距离)。在各个方面,从位于成像装置120上的光学波形发射器123发射的光学波形的飞行时间可被配置成能够确定相机-关键结构距离dw。光谱成像结合飞行时间传感器的使用在本文中进一步描述。此外,现在参见图3,在本公开的各个方面,关键结构101相对于组织103的表面105的深度dA可通过以下方法来确定:根据距离dw以及发射器106在外科装置102上和光学波形发射器123在成像装置120上的已知方位(以及因此它们之间的已知距离dx)进行三角测量,以确定距离dy(其为距离de和dA之和)。
另外或另选地,来自光学波形发射器123的飞行时间可被配置成能够确定从光学波形发射器123到组织103的表面105的距离。例如,第一波形(或波形范围)可用于确定相机-关键结构距离dw,并且第二波形(或波形范围)可用于确定到组织103的表面105的距离。在此类情况下,不同波形可用于确定关键结构101在组织103的表面105下方的深度。
另外或另选地,在某些情况下,距离dA可由超声、配准磁共振成像(MRI)或计算机断层摄影(CT)扫描来确定。在其他情况下,距离dA可用光谱成像来确定,因为由成像装置接收的检测信号可基于材料的类型而变化。例如,脂肪可以第一方式或第一量降低检测信号,并且胶原可以不同的第二方式或第二量降低检测信号。
现在参见图4中的外科可视化系统160,其中外科装置162包括光学波形发射器123以及被配置成能够检测反射的波形的波形传感器122。光学波形发射器123可被配置成能够发射波形,以用于确定与公共装置(诸如外科装置162)的距离dt和dw,如本文进一步所述。在此类情况下,从组织103的表面105到关键结构101的表面的距离dA可如下确定:
dA=dw-dt
如本文所公开,关于可见组织、嵌入的关键结构和外科装置的各种信息可通过利用组合方法来确定,该组合方法结合被配置成能够检测光谱波长和结构化光阵列的图像传感器结合有一个或多个飞行时间距离传感器、光谱成像和/或结构化光阵列。此外,图像传感器可被配置成能够接收可见光,并且因此将外科部位的图像提供给成像系统。采用逻辑或算法来识别从飞行时间传感器接收的信息、光谱波长、结构化光和可见光,并且渲染表面组织和下面的解剖结构的三维图像。在各种情况下,成像装置120可包括多个图像传感器。
相机-关键结构距离dw也可以一种或多种替代方式进行检测。在一个方面,可利用例如荧光透视可视化技术(诸如荧光吲哚菁绿(ICG))来照亮关键结构201,如图6至图8所示。相机220可包括两个光学波形传感器222、224,这两个光学波形传感器同时拍摄关键结构201的左侧图像和右侧图像(图7A和图7B)。在此类情况下,相机220可描绘关键结构201在组织203的表面205下方的辉光,并且距离dw可由传感器222与224之间的已知距离来确定。在某些情况下,可通过利用多于一个相机或通过在多个位置之间移动相机来更准确地确定距离。在某些方面,一个相机可由第一机器人臂控制,并且第二相机可由另一个机器人臂控制。在此类机器人系统中,一个相机可以是例如从动件臂上的从动件相机。从动件臂及其上的相机可被编程为跟踪另一个相机并保持例如特定的距离和/或透镜角度。
在其他方面,外科可视化系统100可采用两个单独的波形接收器(即,相机/图像传感器)来确定dw。现在参见图9,如果关键结构301或其内容物(例如,血管或血管内容物)可诸如利用荧光透视发射信号302,则可根据已知位置处的两个单独的相机320a、320b对实际位置进行三角测量。
在另一个方面,现在参见图10A和图10B,外科可视化系统可采用抖动或移动相机440来确定距离dw。相机440是机器人控制的,使得相机440在不同方位处的三维坐标是已知的。在各种情况下,相机440可在插管或患者接口处枢转。例如,如果关键结构401或其内容物(例如,血管或血管内容物)可诸如利用荧光透视发射信号,则可根据在两个或更多个已知位置之间快速移动的相机440对实际位置进行三角测量。在图10A中,相机440沿轴线A轴向移动。更具体地,相机440沿轴线A更靠近关键结构401平移距离d1,以平移到被指示为位置440'的位置,诸如通过在机器人臂上移入和移出。当相机440移动距离d1并且视图的尺寸关于关键结构401改变时,可计算到关键结构401的距离。例如,4.28mm的轴向平移(距离d1)可对应于6.28度的角度θ1和8.19度的角度θ2。另外或另选地,相机440可沿不同方位之间的弧线旋转或扫掠。现在参见图10B,相机440沿轴线A轴向移动并且围绕轴线A旋转角度θ3。用于相机440的旋转的枢转点442定位在插管/患者接口处。在图10B中,相机440平移并旋转到位置440”。当相机440移动并且视图边缘关于关键结构401改变时,可计算到关键结构401的距离。在图10B中,距离d2可为例如9.01mm,并且角度θ3可为例如0.9度。

在各种情况下,可基于外科部位处的预期关键结构和/或遮蔽物来识别和利用用于光谱成像的选定波长(即,“选择性光谱”成像)。通过利用选择性光谱成像,可最小化获得光谱图像所需的时间量,使得可实时或接近实时地获得信息,并在术中加以利用。在各种情况下,波长可由临床医生选择或由控制电路基于临床医生的输入来选择。在某些情况下,波长可基于例如机器学习和/或控制电路可经由云访问的大数据来选择。
光谱成像到组织的前述应用可在术中用于测量波形发射器与被组织遮蔽的关键结构之间的距离。在本公开的一个方面,现在参见图19和图20,示出了利用波形1124、1125的飞行时间传感器系统1104。在某些情况下,飞行时间传感器系统1104可结合到外科可视化系统100(图1)中。飞行时间传感器系统1104包括相同外科装置1102上的波形发射器1106和波形接收器1108。发射波1124从发射器1106延伸到关键结构1101,并且接收波1125被接收器1108从关键结构1101反射回去。外科装置1102穿过延伸到患者的腔1107中的套管针1110定位。
波形1124、1125被配置成能够穿透遮蔽组织1103。例如,波形1124、1125的波长可在NIR或SWIR波长光谱中。在一个方面,光谱信号(例如,高光谱、多光谱或选择性光谱)或光声学信号可从发射器1106发射并且可穿透其中隐蔽有关键结构1101的组织1103。所发射的波形1124可被关键结构1101反射。所接收的波形1125可由于外科装置1102的远侧端部与关键结构1101之间的距离d而被延迟。在各种情况下,可基于关键结构1101的光谱特征来选择波形1124、1125以靶向组织1103内的关键结构1101,如本文进一步所述。在各种情况下,发射器1106被配置成能够提供二进制信号开和关,如图20所示,例如该二进制信号可由接收器1108测量。
基于发射波1124与接收波1125之间的延迟,飞行时间传感器系统1104被配置成能够确定距离d(图19)。图19的发射器1106和接收器1108的飞行时间时序图1130在图20中示出。延迟是距离d的函数,并且距离d由下式给出:
Figure BDA0002977318590000261
其中:
c=光的速度;
t=脉冲的长度;
q1=发射光时累积的电荷;并且
q2=不发射光时累积的电荷。
如本文所提供,波形1124、1125的飞行时间对应于图19中的距离d。在各种情况下,附加发射器/接收器和/或来自发射器1106的脉冲信号可被配置成能够发射非穿透信号。非穿透组织可被配置成能够确定从发射器到遮蔽组织1103的表面1105的距离。在各种情况下,关键结构1101的深度可由下式确定:
dA=dw-dt
其中:
dA=关键结构1101的深度;
dw=从发射器1106到关键结构1101的距离(图19中的d);并且
dt=从发射器1106(在外科装置1102的远侧端部上)到遮蔽组织1103的表面1105的距离。
在本公开的一个方面,现在参见图21,示出了利用波1224a、1224b、1224c、1225a、1225b、1225c的飞行时间传感器系统1204。在某些情况下,飞行时间传感器系统1204可结合到外科可视化系统100(图1)中。飞行时间传感器系统1204包括波形发射器1206和波形接收器1208。波形发射器1206定位在第一外科装置1202a上,并且波形接收器1208定位在第二外科装置1202b上。外科装置1202a、1202b分别穿过其相应的套管针1210a、1210b定位,这两个套管针延伸到患者的腔1207中。发射波1224a、1224b、1224c从发射器1206朝向外科部位延伸,并且接收波1225a、1225b、1225c从外科部位处的各种结构和/或表面反射回接收器1208。
不同的发射波1224a、1224b、1224c被配置成能够靶向外科部位处的不同类型的材料。例如,波1224a靶向遮蔽组织1203,波1224b靶向第一关键结构1201a(例如,血管),并且波1224c靶向第二关键结构1201b(例如,癌性肿瘤)。波1224a、1224b、1224c的波长可在可见光、NIR或SWIR波长光谱中。例如,可见光可从组织1203的表面1205反射,并且NIR和/或SWIR波形可被配置成能够穿透组织1203的表面1205。在各个方面,如本文所述,光谱信号(例如,高光谱、多光谱或选择性光谱)或光声学信号可从发射器1206发射。在各种情况下,可基于关键结构1201a、1201b的光谱特征来选择波1224b、1224c以靶向组织1203内的关键结构1201a、1201b,如本文进一步所述。光声学成像在本文和前述同时提交的美国专利申请中进一步描述,这些专利申请全文以引用方式并入本文。
发射波1224a、1224b、1224c可从目标材料(即,分别为表面1205、第一关键结构1201a和第二结构1201b)反射。所接收的波形1225a、1225b、1225c可由于图21所示的距离d1a、d2a、d3a、d1b、d2b、d2c而被延迟。
在其中发射器1206和接收器1208可独立定位(例如,定位在单独的外科装置1202a、1202b上和/或由单独的机器人臂控制)的飞行时间传感器系统1204中,可根据发射器1206和接收器1208的已知方位计算各种距离d1a、d2a2a、d3a、d1b、d2b、d2c。例如,当外科装置1202a、1202b由机器人控制时,这些方位可以是已知的。关于发射器1206和接收器1208的方位以及光子流靶向某一组织的时间的知识以及由接收器1208接收的该特定响应的信息可允许确定距离d1a、d2a、d3a、d1b、d2b、d2c。在一个方面,可使用穿透波长对到被遮蔽的关键结构1201a、1201b的距离进行三角测量。由于光的速度对于任何波长的可见光或不可见光是恒定的,因此飞行时间传感器系统1204可确定各种距离。
仍然参见图21,在各种情况下,在提供给临床医生的视图中,接收器1208可被旋转成使得所得图像中的目标结构的质心保持恒定,即在垂直于所选目标结构1203、1201a或1201b的轴线的平面中。此类取向可快速传送关于关键结构的一个或多个相关距离和/或视角。例如,如图21所示,从关键结构1201a垂直于视平面(即,血管在页面内/页面外取向)的视角显示外科部位。在各种情况下,此类取向可以是默认设置;然而,该视图可由临床医生旋转或以其他方式调整。在某些情况下,临床医生可在限定由成像系统提供的外科部位的视角的不同表面和/或目标结构之间切换。
在各种情况下,接收器1208可安装在套管针或插管(诸如套管针1210b)上,例如外科装置1202b通过该套管针或插管定位。在其他情况下,接收器1208可安装在三维方位已知的单独机器人臂上。在各种情况下,接收器1208可安装在与控制外科装置1202a的机器人分开的可移动臂上,或者可安装到可在术中与机器人坐标平面配准的手术室(OR)工作台。在此类情况下,发射器1206和接收器1208的方位可能够与同一坐标平面配准,使得可根据来自飞行时间传感器系统1204的输出对距离进行三角测量。
将飞行时间传感器系统和近红外光谱(NIRS)(称为TOF-NIRS,其能够测量具有纳秒分辨率的NIR光的时间分辨特征图)组合可见于名称为“TIME-OF-FLIGHT NEAR-INFRAREDSPECTROSCOPY FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE MEASUREMENT OF INTERNAL QUALITY INGRAPEFRUIT”(美国园艺科学学会杂志(Journal of the American Society forHorticultural Science),2013年5月,第138卷,第3期,第225-228页)的文章(该文章全文以引用方式并入本文)中,并且可在journal.ashspublications.org/content/138/3/225.full处访问。
在各种情况下,飞行时间光谱波形被配置成能够确定关键结构的深度和/或外科装置与关键结构的接近度。此外,本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统包括表面标测逻辑部件,该表面标测逻辑部件被配置成能够创建可见组织的表面的三维渲染。在此类情况下,即使当可见组织阻挡关键结构时,临床医生也可知道外科装置与关键结构的接近度(或缺乏接近度)。在一种情况下,外科部位的形貌由表面标测逻辑部件提供在监视器上。如果关键结构靠近组织的表面,则光谱成像可将关键结构的方位传达给临床医生。例如,光谱成像可检测表面的5mm或10mm内的结构。在其他情况下,光谱成像可检测组织的表面下方10mm或20mm的结构。基于光谱成像系统的已知限值,系统被配置成能够在光谱成像系统根本无法检测到关键结构的情况下传达该关键结构在范围外。因此,临床医生可继续移动外科装置和/或操纵组织。当关键结构移动到光谱成像系统范围内时,系统可识别该结构,并且因此传送该结构在范围内。在此类情况下,当初始识别结构和/或在预定义的接近度区域内进一步移动结构时,可提供警示。在此类情况下,即使光谱成像系统利用已知边界/范围未识别关键结构,也可向临床医生提供接近度信息(即,缺乏接近度)。
本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统可被配置成能够在术中识别关键结构的存在和/或关键结构的接近度,并且在通过意外解剖和/或横切损坏关键结构之前警示临床医生。在各个方面,外科可视化系统被配置成能够识别例如以下关键结构中的一种或多种关键结构:输尿管、肠、直肠、神经(包括膈神经、喉返神经[RLN]、骶岬面部神经、迷走神经以及它们的分支)、血管(包括肺动脉和大叶动脉以及肺静脉和大叶静脉、肠系膜下动脉[IMA]及其分支、直肠上动脉、乙状动脉和左结肠动脉)、肠系膜上动脉(SMA)及其分支(包括中结肠动脉、右结肠动脉、回肠动脉)、肝动脉及其分支、门静脉及其分支、脾动脉/静脉及其分支、外部和内部(下腹部)回肠血管、短胃动脉、子宫动脉、骶中血管和淋巴结。此外,外科可视化系统被配置成能够指示外科装置与关键结构的接近度和/或在外科装置靠近关键结构时警告临床医生。
本公开的各个方面提供了术中关键结构识别(例如,输尿管、神经和/或血管的识别)和器械接近度监视。例如,本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统可包括光谱成像和外科器械跟踪,这使得能够可视化例如组织的表面下方(诸如组织的表面下方1.0cm至1.5cm)的关键结构。在其他情况下,外科可视化系统可识别组织的表面下方小于1.0cm或大于1.5cm的结构。例如,如果结构由于深度原本不能被看到,则即使例如可识别仅在表面0.2mm内的结构的外科可视化系统也可以是有价值的。在各个方面,外科可视化系统可例如利用关键结构的虚拟描绘作为叠加在可见组织的表面上的可见白光图像来增强临床医生的视图。外科可视化系统可提供外科器械的远侧末端的实时三维空间跟踪,并且可例如在外科器械的远侧末端在关键结构的特定范围内(诸如在关键结构的1.0cm内)移动时提供接近度警示。
本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统可识别解剖何时太靠近关键结构。基于温度(即,在可能有损坏/加热/熔融关键结构的风险的关键结构附近太热)和/或基于张力(即,在可能有损坏/撕裂/牵拉关键结构的风险的关键结构附近张力太大),解剖可能“太靠近”关键结构。例如,当在结扎之前使血管骨架化时,此类外科可视化系统可有利于在血管周围进行解剖。在各种情况下,可利用热成像相机来读取外科部位处的热量并向临床医生提供基于所检测到的热量和从工具到结构的距离的警告。例如,如果工具的温度高于预定义阈值(诸如例如120℉),则可在第一距离(诸如例如10mm)处向临床医生提供警示,并且如果工具的温度小于或等于预定义阈值,则可在第二距离(诸如例如5mm)处向临床医生提供警示。预定义阈值和/或警告距离可以是默认设置和/或可临床医生编程。另外或另选地,接近度警示可与由工具本身(诸如测量例如单极或双极解剖器或血管密封器的远侧钳口中的热量的热电偶)进行的热测量关联。
本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统可提供关于关键结构和特异性的足够的灵敏度,以使得临床医生能够基于护理和/或装置安全性数据的标准对快速但安全的解剖有信心地进行。系统可在外科手术期间在术中实时地起作用,而对患者或临床医生的电离辐射风险最小,并且在各种情况下,对患者或临床医生没有电离辐射风险。相反地,在荧光透视过程中,患者和临床医生可经由例如用于实时观察解剖结构的X射线束暴露于电离辐射。
诸如当外科装置的路径由机器人控制时,本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统可被配置成能够例如检测和识别外科装置的向前路径中的一种或多种期望类型的关键结构。另外或另选地,外科可视化系统可被配置成能够检测和识别例如外科装置的周围区域中和/或多个平面/维度中的一种或多种类型的关键结构。
本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统可易于操作和/或解释。此外,各种外科可视化系统可结合允许临床医生覆写默认设置和/或操作的“覆写”特征。例如,诸如当关键结构的风险小于避开该区域的风险(例如,当摘除关键结构周围的癌症时,留下癌组织的风险可能大于对关键结构造成损坏的风险)时,临床医生可选择性地关闭来自外科可视化系统的警示和/或比外科可视化系统所建议的更靠近关键结构。
本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统可结合到外科系统中和/或在对工作流程具有有限影响的情况下在外科手术期间使用。换句话讲,外科可视化系统的具体实施可能不会改变实施外科手术的方式。此外,与意外横切的成本相比,外科可视化系统可能更经济。数据表明,对关键结构的意外损坏减少可驱动增量补偿。
本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统可实时或接近实时地并且提前足够远地操作,以使得临床医生能够预期关键结构。例如,外科可视化系统可提供足够的时间以“减慢、评估和避开”,以便使外科手术的效率最大化。
本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统可能不需要注射到组织中的造影剂或染料。例如,光谱成像被配置成能够在不使用造影剂或染料的情况下在术中可视化隐藏结构。在其他情况下,造影剂可比其他可视化系统更容易注射到适当的组织层中。例如,造影剂的注射与关键结构的可视化之间的时间可少于两小时。
本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统可与临床数据和/或装置数据关联。例如,数据可提供关于能量启用的外科装置(或其他潜在损坏装置)应与外科医生不想损坏的组织相距多近的边界。与本文所公开的外科可视化系统交互的任何数据模块可与机器人整体地或分开地提供,以使得能够与独立的外科装置一起用于例如开放式或腹腔镜式手术中。在各种情况下,外科可视化系统可与机器人外科系统兼容。例如,可视化图像/信息可显示在机器人控制台中。
在外科手术期间,外科医生通常无法清楚地看到和/或识别患者体内的每个解剖结构。例如,每个特定外科手术可与存在于环境中和/或外科部位附近的一个或多个关键结构相关联。如果一个或多个关键结构被错误地遇到(例如,解剖、加压或加热),则可能例如发生并发症,诸如失血过多、组织损坏和/或主要血管破裂。外科部位内的各种结构例如响应于施加内力和/或外力(诸如外科器械的致动)而在外科手术过程中移动。所产生的移动可将外科器械和/或其他解剖结构定位成与一个或多个关键结构相距潜在损坏距离。
外科可视化系统可在外科手术期间通过识别和/或跟随一个或多个关键结构来帮助外科医生。在各种情况下,外科可视化系统被配置成能够利用图像传感器捕获隐藏关键结构的相关结构图像,并且将所捕获的图像叠加在外科部位的实况馈送的顶部上。在各种情况下,外科可视化系统包括自动缩放特征部,该自动缩放特征部被配置成能够调整缩放,并且因此调整由图像传感器获得的总体视图以将一个或多个关键结构保持在图像传感器的视场内。在各种情况下,图像传感器包括相机。在各种情况下,外科可视化系统被配置成能够显示物体(诸如外科器械)与一个或多个关键结构之间的相对距离。例如,通过向外科医生警示一个或多个关键结构的位置和/或存在,外科可视化系统可有助于防止外科手术期间的主要并发症。
图22A描绘了外科可视化系统的显示屏1700。在各种情况下,外科可视化系统被配置成能够响应于用户输入而从外科部位内收集关于各种结构的信息。用户输入可对应于被选择用于由用户观察的一个或多个关键结构。在各种情况下,外科可视化系统可类似于外科可视化系统100(图1)和/或相对于图19至图21所述的高光谱飞行时间系统。使用外科可视化系统,可确定所选择的关键结构1703的方位并将其显示在显示屏1700上。在各种情况下,在整个外科手术中连续监测和更新所选择的关键结构1703的方位。例如,并且如本文更详细所述,外科可视化系统可包括被配置成能够发射多个光谱波的第一光源,被配置成能够发射光图案的第二光源,以及被配置成能够检测可见光、对光谱波的分子响应和/或光图案的一个或多个传感器。基于来自一个或多个传感器的输出,控制电路可确定外科部位的几何表面轮廓(即,形貌)以及相对于外科部位的一个或多个距离。在某些情况下,控制电路可确定到至少部分隐蔽的结构的一个或多个距离。在各种情况下,收集外科部位内关键结构的差分测量结果,诸如高光谱特征、超声响应和/或光声响应。此外,几何表面标测图和一个或多个距离可通过显示屏1700传送给临床医生。
在各种情况下,提供给临床医生的外科部位的增强视图可提供外科部位的相关环境内的关键结构的表示。例如,外科可视化系统可在隐蔽和/或阻挡组织的几何表面标测图上虚拟地增强关键结构,类似于在地面上绘制的线以指示表面下方的气体线。另外或另选地,外科可视化系统可传送一个或多个外科工具与可见的阻挡组织和/或与至少部分隐蔽的关键结构的接近度以及/或者关键结构在可见阻挡组织下方的深度。
在各种情况下,外科可视化系统包括多个视觉模式,其确定来自外科部位的哪些部件被显示在显示屏1700上。多个视觉模式包括隐藏模式,其中来自外科部位的实况馈送显示在显示屏1700上。实况馈送可从例如三维相机提供。另外或另选地,实况馈送可被提供作为来自结构化光系统的可见组织的形貌的数字表示,如本文进一步所述。隐藏关键结构或关键结构的隐藏部分在隐藏模式下未在显示屏1700上表示,因此对临床医生不可见。多个视觉模式还包括可见模式,其中在显示屏1700上仅显示检测到的关键结构。换句话讲,不提供外科部位的实况馈送,并且在没有周围组织和结构的环境的情况下显示检测到的关键结构。多个视觉模式还包括组合模式,其中检测到的关键结构的图像叠加到外科部位的实况馈送上。这样的组合模式提供了外科部位的环境内关键结构的环境。在各种情况下,只有选择/标记的关键结构可在组合模式和可见模式下被可视化,如本文进一步所述。
如图22A所示,外科可视化系统处于隐藏模式,因为显示屏1700的第一部分1701正在显示各种关键结构1703的图像而没有周围组织的环境。显示屏1700包括第二部分1702,该第二部分包括用以控制各种显示选项的选择菜单。在各种情况下,用户可选择在显示屏1700上显示哪些关键结构,诸如血管、肿瘤、神经和/或输尿管。在各种情况下,显示屏1700的第二部分1702可包括触敏显示器,该触敏显示器允许用户直接触摸屏幕以选择用户希望激活哪些特征。在各种情况下,显示屏1700与外部装置(诸如手持装置或计算机)进行信号通信,该外部装置例如允许用户选择用户希望激活哪些特征和/或用户想要看到在显示屏1700上用远程操作的光标1706表示哪些关键结构。如图22A所示,显示四个相关关键结构1703,如在显示屏1700的第二部分1702中所见。读者将理解,可选择少于四个关键结构或多于四个关键结构用于监测。另外,可选择不同的关键结构(例如解剖结构、外科装置、机器人端部执行器和/或钉线)。
外科可视化系统的图像传感器被配置成能够在外科手术期间在整个外科部位移动,从而导致总体图像传感器视图改变。例如,如果作为图像传感器移动的结果,所选择的关键结构1703的一部分不再在图像传感器的视图内,则外科可视化系统被配置成能够警示临床医生。在各种情况下,外科可视化系统可通过以下方式警示临床医生:在显示屏1700上显示箭头或标记以指示所选择的关键结构1703的一般位置,即使当显示屏正在描绘外科部位的不包括所选择的关键结构的放大部分时也是如此,但可设想到用于警示临床医生的任何合适的方式。
在各种情况下,外科可视化系统包括图像传感器跟踪模式,该模式的激活可由显示屏1700上的切换键1705表示。当激活时,图像传感器跟踪模式被配置成能够跟踪所选择的关键结构,并且在图像传感器跟踪模式保持激活的同时将所选择的关键结构保持在图像传感器视图内。例如,外科可视化系统被配置成能够响应于所选择的关键结构移出图像传感器视图而自动放大或缩小,或自动重新定位其自身。
在各种情况下,除了选择要显示的相关关键结构之外,用户可进一步标记关键结构的一部分以用于更详细的监测。例如,如果外科医生预期一个或多个外科器械1704将在紧邻关键结构的特定部分内被大量使用,则外科医生可标记由图标1707在图22A的显示屏1700上表示的相关部分。在各种情况下,随着图像传感器视图改变和/或关键结构响应于内力和/或外力而移动,标记图标1707将被连续显示。
现在参见图22B,没有关键结构被选择以在显示屏700上描绘,如在显示屏1700的第二部分1702中所见。此外,外科可视化系统处于隐藏模式,其中显示屏1700的第一部分1701显示外科部位的实况馈送。因此,第一部分1701显示外科部位的环境1708而没有关于至少部分隐藏的关键结构的任何结构信息。在各种情况下,不管外科可视化系统的当前视觉模式如何,仍然可以描绘表示先前选择且在视图之外的关键结构的箭头或标记。
在图22C中激活外科可视化系统的组合视觉模式。类似于图22A,并且如从它们在显示器1700的第二部分1702上的选择所见,选择四个关键结构以在显示屏1700上描绘。组合视觉模式被配置成能够将所选择的关键结构1703显示为外科部位环境1708的实况馈送的顶部上的叠加。
图23描绘了用于外科可视化系统的算法1710。本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统可利用图23的算法1710。例如,外科可视化系统100(图1)可利用算法1710。此外,读者将容易理解,在某些情况下,图23的算法1710可与本文所述的一个或多个附加算法组合。由外科可视化系统作出的决定可例如由控制电路诸如控制电路132(图2)来实现。在框1712处,控制电路被配置成能够接收表示被选择用于由用户监测的关键结构的输入。在框1714处,控制电路被配置成能够确定外科可视化系统的当前视觉模式。如果外科可视化系统被设置为可见模式1714a,则在框1715处,控制电路被配置成能够在显示屏上仅显示所选择的关键结构。如果外科可视化系统被设置为隐藏模式1714b,则在框1716处,控制电路被配置成能够在显示屏上仅显示外科部位处的可见组织和结构的实况馈送。如果外科可视化系统被设置为组合模式1714c,则在框1717处,控制电路被配置成能够在显示屏上显示叠加在外科部位的实况馈送上的所选择的关键结构。
在确定要在显示屏上显示的相关结构之后,在框1718处,控制电路被配置成能够确定图像传感器跟踪模式是否被激活。如果在框1718a处图像传感器跟踪模式被激活,则在框1719处,控制电路被配置成能够通过将标记的关键结构保持在图像传感器的视图中来跟踪这些标记的关键结构。在各种情况下,控制电路可通过自动调整缩放和/或重新定位图像传感器以在图像传感器的视图内重新捕获标记的关键结构来将标记的关键结构保持在图像传感器的视图内(框1719)。如果在框1718b处图像传感器跟踪模式未被激活,则在框1720处,控制电路被配置成能够允许图像传感器自由移动和/或调整,而无需考虑在显示屏上显示哪些结构。在各种情况下,在框1718处,控制电路被配置成能够连续监测外科可视化系统的当前视觉模式1714和/或图像传感器跟踪模式的状态,因为用户可在外科手术期间在各种模式之间切换。
在各种情况下,外科可视化系统被配置成能够传送一个或多个外科工具与可见的阻挡组织和/或与至少部分隐蔽的关键结构的接近度以及/或者关键结构在可见阻挡组织下方的深度。现在参见图24A,描绘了外科可视化系统的显示屏1730。在各种情况下,外科可视化系统可类似于外科可视化系统100(图1)和/或相对于图19至图21所述的高光谱飞行时间系统。此外,控制电路诸如控制电路132(图2)例如可被配置成能够接收关于要监测的一个或多个关键结构1733的用户输入。外科可视化系统被配置成能够确定所选择的关键结构1733的方位并将所选择的关键结构1733叠加在外科部位的实况馈送1738上。在各种情况下,在整个外科手术中连续监测和更新所选择的关键结构1733的方位。

示例性临床应用
本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统可用于以下临床应用中的一种或多种临床应用中。以下临床应用是用于本文所公开的各种外科可视化系统中的一个或多个外科可视化系统的非穷举性和仅例示性应用。
如本文所公开的外科可视化系统可用于多种不同类型的手术中,以用于例如不同的医学专业,诸如泌尿科、妇科、肿瘤科、结肠直肠科、胸科、肥胖科/胃科和肝胰胆管科(HPB)。例如,在泌尿手术(诸如前列腺切除术)中,例如可在脂肪中检测输尿管,或者可在脂肪中检测结缔组织和/或神经。例如,在妇科肿瘤手术(诸如例如子宫切除术)中,以及在结肠直肠手术(诸如例如低位前切除(LAR)手术)中,可在脂肪和/或结缔组织中检测到输尿管。例如,在胸部手术(诸如叶切除术)中,可在肺或结缔组织中检测到血管,并且/或者可在结缔组织中检测到神经(例如,食管造口术)。在肥胖手术中,可在脂肪中检测到血管。例如,在HPB手术(诸如肝切除术或胰切除术)中,可在脂肪(肝外)、结缔组织(肝外)中检测到血管,并且可在薄壁(肝脏或胰腺)组织中检测到胆管。
在一个示例中,临床医生可能想要摘除子宫内膜肌瘤。根据术前磁共振成像(MRI)扫描,临床医生可知道子宫内膜肌瘤位于肠的表面上。因此,临床医生可能想要在术中知道哪些组织构成肠的一部分以及哪些组织构成直肠的一部分。在此类情况下,如本文所公开的外科可视化系统可指示不同类型的组织(肠与直肠),并且经由成像系统将该信息传达给临床医生。此外,成像系统可确定外科装置与所选组织的接近度并传送该接近度。在此类情况下,外科可视化系统可提供增加的手术效率而没有严重的并发症。
在另一个示例中,临床医生(例如,妇科医生)可保持远离某些解剖区域以避免太靠近关键结构,并且因此临床医生可能无法摘除例如所有子宫内膜异位。如本文所公开的外科可视化系统可使得妇科医生能够降低太靠近关键结构的风险,使得妇科医生可用外科装置足够靠近以摘除所有子宫内膜异位,这可改善患者结果(使外科手术大众化)。此类系统可使得外科医生能够在外科手术期间“保持移动”而不是反复停止和重新开始,以便识别要避开的区域,例如特别是在施加治疗能量诸如超声或电外科能量期间。在妇科应用中,子宫动脉和输尿管是重要的关键结构,并且考虑到所涉及组织的呈现和/或厚度,系统对于子宫切除术和子宫内膜异位手术可能特别有用。
在另一个示例中,临床医生可能有在太近的位置处解剖血管的风险,并且因此这可能影响到除了目标叶之外的叶的血液供应。此外,患者与患者之间的解剖学差异可能导致解剖基于特定患者影响不同叶的血管(例如分支)。如本文所公开的外科可视化系统可使得能够识别期望位置处的正确血管,这使得临床医生能够以适当的解剖确定性进行解剖。例如,系统可确认正确的血管在正确的位置,并且然后临床医生可安全地将血管分开。
在另一个示例中,由于血管的解剖结构的不确定性,临床医生可能会在最佳位置处进行解剖之前进行多次解剖。然而,希望在第一种情况下在最佳位置进行解剖,因为更多解剖可增加出血的风险。如本文所公开的外科可视化系统可通过指示正确的血管和用于解剖的最佳位置来最小化解剖数量。例如,输尿管和主韧带很密集,并且在解剖期间会带来独特的挑战。在此类情况下,可能特别希望最小化解剖数量。
在另一个示例中,摘除癌组织的临床医生(例如,外科肿瘤学家)可能希望知道关键结构的识别、癌症的定位、癌症的分期和/或组织健康的评估。此类信息超出临床医生用“肉眼”所见的内容。如本文所公开的外科可视化系统可在术中确定此类信息和/或将此类信息传达给临床医生,以加强术中决策并改善外科结果。在某些情况下,外科可视化系统可与例如使用内窥镜或外镜的微创外科手术(MIS)、开放式外科手术和/或机器人方法兼容。
在另一个示例中,临床医生(例如,外科肿瘤医生)可能想要关闭关于外科工具与一个或多个关键结构的接近度的一个或多个警示,以避免在外科手术期间过于保守。在其他情况下,临床医生可能想要接收某些类型的警示诸如触觉反馈(例如,振动/蜂鸣)以指示接近度和/或“禁飞区”,从而保持充分远离一个或多个关键结构。例如,如本文所公开的外科可视化系统可基于临床医生的经验和/或手术的期望进取性来提供灵活性。在此类情况下,系统提供“知道太多”和“知道足够多”之间的平衡以预期和避开关键结构。外科可视化系统可有助于在外科手术期间规划接下来的步骤。
