REAL-TIME GENERATION OF THREE- DIMENSIONAL ULTRASOUND IMAGE USING A TWO-DIMENSIONAL ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCER IN A ROBOTIC SYSTEM

摘要

Systems and methods for performing robotically-assisted surgical procedures on a patient enable an image display device to provide an operator with auxiliary information related to the surgical procedure, in addition to providing an image of the surgical site itself. The systems and methods allow an operator to selectively access and reference auxiliary information on the image display device during the performance of a surgical procedure.
