Jig assembled on stereoscopic surgical microscope for applying augmented reality techniques to surgical procedures

Abstract:

A system includes a first optical assembly (OA), a second OA and a processor. The first OA and second OA each coupled with a first and second microscope eyepiece, respectively. Each first and second OAs including a light source, configured to direct an emitted light beam (ELB) through the microscope toward an organ, and an image sensor, configured to sense a reflected light beam (RLB), which is reflected from the organ through the microscope, and to produce a signal indicative of the RLB. The processor is configured to control the first and second OAs to alternately direct the ELB and sense the RLB at first and second time intervals, and alternately display on a first display, during the first time intervals, images based on the signal from the first OA, and display on a second display, during the second time intervals, images based on the signal from the second OA.
