20120209123 | Surgeon's Aid for Medical Display - A system for identifying an area of interest on a surgical image, including a source of surgical image data, which may be a camera, an image processing unit, which may be a camera control unit, and a destination, which may be a display. The image processing unit is configured to receive the surgical image data and combine it with an overlay pattern for identifying an area of interest, which is then displayed on the display. The overlay may include a key with coordinates or labels. Properties of the overlay and the key may be customized and adjusted. | 08-16-2012 |
20130245460 | Adjustable Overlay Patterns for Medical Display - A system for identifying an area of interest on a surgical image, including a source of surgical image data, which may be a camera, an image processing unit, which may be a camera control unit, and a destination, which may be a display. The image processing unit is configured to receive the surgical image data and combine it with an overlay pattern for identifying an area of interest, which is then displayed on the display. The overlay pattern may include centric lines, concentric ovals, concentric circles, or other concentric shapes. The overlay may include a key with coordinates or labels. Properties of the overlay and the key may be customized and adjusted. | 09-19-2013 |
20140037165 | Multi-Source Medical Display - A system for indicating an area of interest on an image, including a source of image data, an image processing unit, a user interface, and a destination, which may be a display. The image data may be ultrasound, X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance tomography, computed tomography or surgical image data. The image processing unit may be configured to receive the image data from the source and combine it with a desired overlay pattern selected from a plurality of overlay patterns for indicating an area of interest on the image, which is then displayed on the display. The overlay pattern may include a key with coordinates or labels. Properties of the overlay pattern and the image data may be adjusted independently or automatically. | 02-06-2014 |
20140132746 | IMAGE CAPTURE STABILIZATION - An endoscopic video system with still image capture stabilization, including a processor, an image capture device capturing a plurality of still images at a time interval, an image buffer temporarily storing a portion of the still images, and software executing on the processor for retrieving, upon receiving an image capture instruction, a first one of the still images from the image buffer, the first one of the still images representative of a still image captured a first length of time prior to the image capture instruction. | 05-15-2014 |
20140184765 | Video Imaging System With Multiple Camera White Balance Capability - A system for capturing image data including a control module having a control switch and a processor, the processor being adapted for white balance control and the control switch being adapted to initiate white balance control, at least one input module connected to the control module, the input module providing white balance calibration, and at least one camera coupled to the input module. One or more of the at least one input module are configured as active input modules, each active input module having an active camera generating an image signal. The control module detects the one or more active input modules and controls one of the one or more active input modules, selected based on user feedback, to calibrate white balance of the image signal of the active camera coupled to the selected input module and to transmit the calibrated image signal to the control module for display. | 07-03-2014 |
20140184766 | MODULAR MEDICAL IMAGING SYSTEM - A modular video imaging system, and more particularly, a modular video imaging system having a control module connectable to multiple input modules. The input modules each capable of receiving differing types of image data from different types of cameras and processing the image data into a format recognizable by the control module. The control unit providing general functions such as user interface and general image processing that is not camera specific. | 07-03-2014 |
20140184767 | Single Power Switch For Modular Medical Imaging System - A modular video imaging system, and more particularly, a modular video imaging system having a control module connectable to multiple input modules. The control module and each input module having its own power supply and the input modules each capable of receiving differing types of image data from different types of cameras and processing the image data into a format recognizable by the control module. The control module controlling the ON/OFF condition of the input modules, such that each input module can be connected and disconnected during use. | 07-03-2014 |
20140184770 | Inter-Module Link Interface - A multi-function cable, and more particularly, a multi-function cable having components permitting its interchangeable use with a variety of modules, the modules including endoscopes, cameras input units and display units. The multi-function cable is capable of receiving inputs from multiple different types of modules having diverse data and signal formats and may generate diverse output signals compatible with differing modules. The multi-function cable is used in a medical operating room. | 07-03-2014 |
20140253703 | Video Capture And Streaming Diagnostics Metadata - A system and method for diagnosing problems in a medical imaging system. In some implementations, problems with the medical imaging system are determined by encoding information into an image relating to system settings or other data, and using the information to diagnose possible problems with the image and/or the medical imaging system. | 09-11-2014 |
20140327751 | HIGH DEFINITION (HD) INTER-MODULE LINK INTERFACE - A multi-function high definition (HD) cable, and more particularly, a multi-function cable having components permitting its interchangeable use with a variety of modules, the modules including endoscopes, cameras input units and display units. The multi-function cable is capable of receiving inputs from multiple different types of modules having diverse data and signal formats and may generate diverse output signals compatible with differing modules. The multi-function cable is used in a medical operating room. | 11-06-2014 |
