SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF SURGICAL SPECIALTY TYPE AND PROCEDURE TYPE

Abstract:

Systems and methods for automatic detection of surgical specialty type and procedure type are disclosed. One or more classification networks may be applied to automatically process input surgical image data in order to recognize and determine a surgical specialty type and a surgical procedure type depicted in the input image data. Based on the determination made by the system, one or more output indications may be generated and one or more surgical devices may be automatically controlled, such as by being optimized for use during the surgical procedure type and/or surgical specialty type represented by the input image.
