Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to medical robotic systems and in particular, to the displaying and manipulating of auxiliary images on a computer display in a medical robotic system.
  • Medical robotic systems such as those used in performing minimally invasive surgical procedures offer many benefits over traditional open surgery techniques, including less pain, shorter hospital stays, quicker return to normal activities, minimal scarring, reduced recovery time, and less injury to tissue. Consequently, demand for minimally invasive surgery using medical robotic systems is strong and growing.
  • the daVinci® Surgical System includes a surgeon's console, a patient-side cart, a high performance 3-D vision system, and Intuitive Surgical's proprietary EndoWristTM articulating instruments, which are modeled after the human wrist so that when added to the motions of the robotic arm assembly holding the surgical instrument, they allow at least a full six degrees of freedom of motion, which is comparable to the natural motions of open surgery.
  • the daVinci® surgeon's console has a high-resolution stereoscopic video display with two progressive scan cathode ray tubes (“CRTs”).
  • CRTs progressive scan cathode ray tubes
  • the system offers higher fidelity than polarization, shutter eyeglass, or other techniques.
  • Each eye views a separate CRT presenting the left or right eye perspective, through an objective lens and a series of mirrors. The surgeon sits comfortably and looks into this display throughout surgery, making it an ideal place for the surgeon to display and manipulate 3-D intra-operative imagery.
  • auxiliary information may be provided in various modes such as text information, bar graphs, two-dimensional picture-in-picture images, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional images that are registered and properly overlaid with respect to their primary image counterparts.
  • the images may be captured pre-operatively or intra-operatively using techniques such as ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed axial tomography, and fluoroscopy to provide internal details of an anatomic structure being treated.

  • the processor detects that the user has placed the master input device into its image manipulating mode.
  • a master clutch mechanism provided in the medical robotic system, which supports disengaging the master input device from its associated robotic arm so that the master input device may be repositioned.
  • this mode is activated by some mechanism such as the user depressing a button on the master input device, pressing down on a foot pedal, or using voice activation, the associated robotic arm is locked in position, and a cursor (nominally an iconic representation of a hand, e.g. ) is presented to the user on the computer display screen.

  • the processor determines whether a control input such as that generated by depressing a button on a conventional mouse has been activated by the user.
  • the control input in this case may be activated by depressing a button provided on the master input device, or it may be activated by some other fashion such as squeezing a gripper or pincher formation provided on the master input device.
  • a control input such as that generated by depressing a button on a conventional mouse has been activated by the user.
  • the control input in this case may be activated by depressing a button provided on the master input device, or it may be activated by some other fashion such as squeezing a gripper or pincher formation provided on the master input device.
  • For additional details on clutching, and gripper or pincher formations on a master input device see, e.g., commonly owned U.S. Pat. No. 6,659,939 entitled “Cooperative Minimally Invasive Telesurgical System,” which has been previously incorporated herein by reference. If the control
  • the processor After receiving an indication that the control input is “on”, the processor checks to see if the cursor is positioned on (or within a predefined distance to) an object being displayed on the computer display screen. If it is not, then in 1204 , the processor causes a menu of user selectable items or actions to be displayed on the computer display screen, and in 1205 , the processor receives and reacts to a menu selection made by the user.
  • Examples of user selectable menu items include: magnifying glass, cut-plane, eraser, and image registration. If the user selects the magnifying glass item, then an image of a magnifying glass is displayed on the computer display screen and the method described in reference to FIG. 8 may be performed by the processor. When the user is finished with the magnifying glass function, then the user may indicate exiting of the function in any conventional manner and the processor returns to 1202 .
  • a plane (or rectangular window of fixed or user adjustable size) is displayed on the computer display screen.
  • the master input device may then be associated with the plane so that the user may position and orientate the plane in the three-dimensional space of the computer display screen by manipulating the master input device in the manner of a pointing device. If the plane is maneuvered so as to intersect a volume rendering of an anatomic structure, then it functions as a cut-plane defining a two-dimensional slice of the volume rendering at the intersection. Alternatively, the master input device may be associated with the volume rendering of the anatomic structure, which may then be maneuvered so as to intersect the displayed plane to define the cut-plane. Association of the plane or volume rendering with the pointing device may be performed in substantially the same manner as described in reference to the magnifying glass with respect to 801 of FIG. 8 .
  • the two-dimensional slice may then be viewed either in the plane itself, or in a separate window on the computer display screen such as in a picture-in-picture.
  • the user may further select the cut-plane item additional times to define additional two-dimensional slices of the volume rendering for concurrent viewing in respective planes or picture-in-picture windows on the computer display screen.
  • a conventional delete function is provided so that the user may selectively delete any cut-planes and their corresponding slices.
  • the user may indicate exiting of the function in any conventional manner and the processor returns to 1202 .
  • an eraser is displayed on the computer display screen.
  • the master input device is then associated with the eraser so that the user may position and orientate the eraser in the three-dimensional space of the computer display screen by manipulating the master input device in the manner of a pointing device. Association of the eraser with the pointing device in this case may be performed in substantially the same manner as described in reference to the magnifying glass with respect to 801 of FIG. 8 . If the eraser is maneuvered so as to intersect a volume rendering of an anatomic structure, then it functions to either completely or partially erase such rendering wherever it traverses the volume rendering.
  • partial erasing is selected by the user (or otherwise pre-programmed into the processor), then each time the eraser traverses the volume rendering, less detail of the anatomic structure may be shown. Less detail in this case may refer to the coarseness/fineness of the rendering, or it may refer to the stripping away of layers in the three-dimensional volume rendering. All such characteristics or options of the erasing may be user selected using conventional means. If the user inadvertently erases a portion of the volume rendering, a conventional undo feature is provided to allow the user to undo the erasure. When the user is finished with the erasing function, then the user may indicate exiting of the function in any conventional manner and the processor returns to 1202 .
  • spatially localized modifying functions are also contemplated and considered to be within the full scope of the present invention, including selectively sharpening, brightening, or coloring portions of a displayed image to enhance its visibility in, or otherwise highlight, a selected area.
  • Each such spatially localized modifying function may be performed using substantially the same method described above in reference to the eraser function.
  • Image registration in this case typically involves manually registering an auxiliary image of an object such as an anatomic structure with a corresponding primary image of the object.
  • icons respectively indicating each of the selectable items as described above may be displayed on the computer display screen upon entering image manipulating mode and selected by the user clicking on them, after which, the processor proceeds to perform as described above in reference to selection of their corresponding menu items.
  • the processor after receiving an indication that the control input is on in 1201 and determining that the cursor is positioned on or near an object (not an icon) being displayed on the computer display screen in 1202 , the processor preferably changes the cursor from an iconic representation of a hand, for example, to that of a grasping hand to indicate that the object has been “grabbed” and is ready to be moved or “dragged” to another position and/or orientation in the three-dimensional space of the computer display screen through user manipulation of the master input device.
  • the processor determines whether the user has indicated that a display parameter of the selected object is to be adjusted, and if the user has so indicated, in 1207 , the processor performs the display adjustment.
  • a dial on the master input device may be turned by the user to indicate both that a display adjustment for a display parameter associated with dial is to be adjusted according to the amount of rotation of the dial on the selected object.
  • the gripper may be rotated so as to function as a dial. Examples of display parameters that may be adjusted in this manner include: brightness, contrast, color, and level of detail (e.g., mesh coarseness/fineness, or voxel size and/or opaqueness) of the selected object being displayed on the computer display screen.
  • the processor then proceeds to 1208 to determine whether the cursor has moved since “grabbing” the selected object after an affirmative determination in 1203 . If it has not moved, then the processor jumps back to 1202 since the user may only have wanted to adjust a display parameter of a selected object at this time. On the other hand, if the cursor has moved since “grabbing” the selected object, then in 1209 , the processor moves the selected object to the new cursor position. Since the cursor operates in the three-dimensional space of the computer display screen, when it moves “into” the display screen, it may indicate such movement by, for example, getting progressively smaller in size.
  • haptic feedback may be provided back to the master input device so that the user may sense reflected forces while the “grabbed” object is being moved in 1209 .
  • user interactions with the object may be reflected haptically back to the user by associating a virtual mass and inertial properties with the object so that the user feels a reflected force when coming into contact with the object or when translating or rotating the object as it is accelerated/decelerated.
  • the haptic feedback performed in this 1210 may only be performed for some types of objects and not for others, or it may take effect only in certain circumstances. Use of such haptic feedback may also be applied to the movement of the magnifying glass and/or the plane used for defining cut-planes as described above. In such cases, however, the haptic feedback may be restricted to only occurring after the magnifying glass or the plane enters into an anatomic structure of interest.
  • the processor determines whether the control input is still in an “on” state. If the control is still “on”, then the processor jumps back to 1208 to track and respond to cursor movement. On the other hand, if the control has been turned off by, for example, the user releasing a button that was initially depressed to indicate that control was turned “on”, then in 1212 , the processor performs a selected menu action.
  • the object that has been moved is registered with another image of the object that is now aligned with and is being displayed on the computer display screen at the time so that they have the same coordinate and orientation values in a common reference frame such as that of the computer display screen.
  • This feature facilitates, for example, manual registration of an auxiliary image of an anatomic structure (such as obtained using the LUS Probe 150 ) with a primary image of the anatomic structure (such as obtained using the Endoscope 140 ).
  • changes to the position and/or orientation of the corresponding object in the primary image may be mirrored so as to cause corresponding changes to the selected object in the auxiliary image so as to maintain its relative position/orientation with respect to the primary image.
  • the processor returns to 1202 .
