Data Integration During Robotic Ultrasound-Guided Surgery

Our project seeks to develop a new user interface for the Da Vinci surgical system console to allow greater data integration in order to provide the surgeon with more patient information during the surgery (Figure 1). The new interface will include the integration of live ultrasound feed and an image browser to view saved ultrasound images. Other features would include the ability to view preoperative images and construct 3D models of organs and other anatomical structures from those images. We will also perform a clinical user study to determine the surgeons' response to the new layout and features.
