MEDICAL DEVICE PROBE FOR AUGMENTING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BASED ANATOMICAL RECOGNITION

摘要

A surgical probe for augmenting artificial intelligence (AI) based anatomical recognition. Preferably the medical device probe is applied to any body cavity or space for which an image can be obtained and the medical device probe delivered to the target tissue captured on the image (i.e. endoscopic, arthroscopic, or other minimally invasive surgical procedures) in order to train and augment anatomical recognition models. The probe may provide reference points, markings, surface contours, size and scale representations, dye marking, spatial cues, light refraction, sonic propagation and other modalities for determining tissue properties and biomechanical characteristics. A data set of device probe augmented medical images and video are captured from the procedure and used to train the AI based recognition algorithms. The probe, which is designed with a machine-recognizable shaped tip and scale of reference markings, is manipulated by the surgeon to outline or “paint” specific tissue sites, explore tissue makeup, and provide other augmentations to the medical imaging dataset for AI recognition model development. The trained AI model provides immediate feedback with regard to anatomical feature identification, size, biomechanics, surgical guidance and disease state diagnosis.
