Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012061336
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide an auxiliary image display and manipulation on a computer display in a medical robotic system.
To assist a surgeon performing a medical procedure, auxiliary images generally indicating internal details of an anatomic structure being treated are displayed and manipulated by the surgeon on a computer display screen to supplement primary images generally of an external view of the anatomic structure. A master input device controlling a robotic arm in a first mode may be switched by the surgeon to a second mode in order to function instead as a mouse-like pointing device to facilitate the surgeon performing such auxiliary information display and manipulation.
