A Simple Stereoscopic Endoscope
نویسنده
چکیده
A very simple method is described for producing and viewing stereoscopic endoscopic images. The addition of two simple prisms to the end of a conventional television-monitored endoscope with a simple viewing device produces a stereoscopic endoscope which appears to be suitable for surgical use.

Flexible Calibration of Actuated Stereoscopic Endoscope for Overlay in Robot Assisted Surgery
Robotic assistance have greatly benefited the operative gesture in mini-invasive surgery. Nevertheless, the surgeon is still suffering from the restricted vision of the operating field through the endoscope. We thus propose to augment the endoscopic images with preoperative data. This paper focuses on the use of a priori information to initialise the overlay by a precise calibration of the actu...
متن کاملComputed tomography enterography as a tool for identifying pancreaticojejunal anastomoses in patients who have undergone Whipple's resection.
During the endoscopic treatment of stenotic pancreaticojejunal anastomoses in patients who have undergone Whipple’s resection, it can be difficult to identify the pancreaticojejunal anastomotic site [1,2]. To solve this problem, we used computed tomography (CT) enterography to obtain detailed information about the pancreaticojejunal anastomotic site. We report a case in which a stenotic pancrea...
متن کاملTowards Endoscopic Augmented Reality for Robotically Assisted Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
One of the problems tightly linked to endoscopic surgery is the fact that, because of the narrow field of view, it is sometimes quite difficult to locate the objects that can be seen through the endoscope. This is especially true in cardiac surgery, where it is difficult to not confuse two coronary arteries on a beating heart. We propose in this paper a methodology to achieve coronary localisat...
متن کاملIn-vivo stereoscopic imaging system with 5 degrees-of-freedom for minimal access surgery.
Endoscopic imaging for minimal access surgery has many limitations that include: 2D and narrow angle imaging, limited workspace of the endoscope caused by the fulcrum effect of the body wall, and the presence of the endoscope in the incision that prevents use of the incision for other instrumentation. We have designed a novel stereoscopic 3D imaging device with 5 DOF and remote control that can...
متن کاملMultispectral image alignment using a three channel endoscope in vivo during minimally invasive surgery
Sequential multispectral imaging is an acquisition technique that involves collecting images of a target at different wavelengths, to compile a spectrum for each pixel. In surgical applications it suffers from low illumination levels and motion artefacts. A three-channel rigid endoscope system has been developed that allows simultaneous recording of stereoscopic and multispectral images. Salien...
