Abstract
A surgical image acquisition system includes multiple illumination sources, each source emitting light at a specified wavelength, a light sensor to receive light reflected from a tissue sample illuminated by each of the illumination sources, and a computing system. The computing system may receive data from the light sensor when the tissue sample is illuminated by the illumination sources, and calculate structural data related to one or more characteristics of a structure within the tissue. The structural data may be a surface characteristic such as a surface roughness or a structure composition such as a collagen and elastin composition. The computer system may further transmit the structural data to a smart surgical device. The smart devices may include a smart stapler, a smart RF sealing device, or a smart ultrasonic cutting device. The system may include a controller and computer enabled instructions to accomplish the above.
Claims (15)
1. A surgical image acquisition system comprising:
a surgical hub comprising a situational awareness module; and
a control circuit configured to:
control an operation of a plurality of illumination sources of a tissue sample wherein each illumination source is configured to emit light having a specified central wavelength;
receive imaging data from a light sensor when the tissue sample is illuminated by each of the plurality of illumination sources;
calculate tissue refractive index data from the imaging data;
calculate structural data related to a characteristic of a structure within the tissue sample based on the tissue refractive index data; and
transmit the structural data to the situational awareness module,
wherein the characteristic of the structure is a surface characteristic or a structure composition, and
wherein the situational awareness module comprises a machine learning module trained to determine a position of the light sensor based on the imaging data.
2. The surgical image acquisition system of claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is configured to transmit the structural data to to a smart surgical RF sealing device.
3. The surgical image acquisition system of claim 2 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to transmit data related to an amount of RF power based on the structural data to by the smart surgical RF sealing device.
4. The surgical image acquisition system of claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is configured to transmit the structural data to to a smart ultrasound cutting device.
5. The surgical image acquisition system of claim 4 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to transmit data related to an amount of power provided to an ultrasonic transducer or a driving frequency of the ultrasonic transducer based on the structural data to the smart ultrasound cutting device.
6. The surgical image acquisition system of claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is configured to actuate successively a first illumination source of the plurality of illumination sources and a second illumination source of the plurality of illumination sources.
