Abstract

A system for selective spectral illumination in an operating room includes a housing, at least one light source disposed within the housing, the at least one light source configured to emit electromagnetic radiation at a plurality of wavelengths, and a controller coupled to the at least one light source and configured to control the at least one light source to emit electromagnetic radiation at one or more of the plurality of wavelengths based on a status of operation of an optical imaging system in the operating room.

Claims (15)

1. A system for selective spectral illumination in an operating room, the system comprising:

a housing;

at least one light source disposed within the housing and at least one light source disposed outside the housing an in the operating room, the at least one light source disposed within the housing configured to emit electromagnetic radiation at a plurality of wavelengths; and

a controller coupled to the at least one light source disposed within the housing and configured to receive an input associated with a status of operation of an optical imaging system in the operating room and to control the at least one light source disposed within the housing to switch the electromagnetic radiation between one or more of the plurality of wavelengths based on the status of operation of the optical imaging system in the operating room to prevent spectral interference between the at least one light source disposed within the housing and the at least one light source disposed outside the housing and in the operating room during operation of the optical imaging system.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one light source disposed within the housing is a multicomponent light emitting diode configured to emit electromagnetic radiation at multiple wavelengths in the plurality of wavelengths.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one light source disposed within the housing is a plurality of light emitting diodes, where each light emitting diode is configured to emit electromagnetic radiation at a different wavelength in the plurality of wavelengths.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one light source disposed outside the housing and in the operating room is configured to utilize at least one wavelength of electromagnetic radiation during operation of the optical imaging system.

5. The system according to claim 4 , wherein when the status of operation of the optical imaging system is active, the one or more of the plurality of wavelengths at which the at least one light source disposed within the housing emits electromagnetic radiation includes wavelengths that are different than the at least one wavelength utilized by the at least one light source disposed outside the housing and in the operating room.

6. The system according to claim 4 , wherein when the status of operation of the optical imaging system is inactive, the one or more of the plurality of wavelengths at which the at least one light source disposed within the housing emits electromagnetic radiation includes all of the wavelengths in the plurality of wavelengths.

7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller comprises an integrated circuit and a light source driver.

8. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the housing is configured to be located on or in one of: a ceiling of the operating room, a moveable boom, a spotlight, a surgical headlamp, a surgical system, or a surgical device.

9. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller includes a switch configured to select the one or more of the plurality of wavelengths at which the at least one light source disposed within the housing emits electromagnetic radiation.

10. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the input associated with the status of operation of the medical device is provided by a signal received by the controller from the optical imaging system.

11. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to receive the signal from the optical imaging system using a wireless communication link.

12. The system according to claim 1 , further comprising an input coupled to the controller and configured to receive the input associated with the status of operation of the optical imaging system.
