Title: Nickolas Simon Saba: Advancing Robotic Endoscopy

Introduction

Nickolas Simon Saba is an inventor based in San Carlos, California. His patent work includes a robotic endoscopic system designed to help determine whether a medical tool has reached a target region.

Latest Patents

Saba is associated with 1 patent: “Systems and Methods for Robotic Endoscope with Integrated Tool-in-Lesion-Tomosynthesis.” The invention uses a fluoroscopic imager to capture multiple images as a tool advances toward a target region. These images are reconstructed into a three-dimensional fluoroscopic image. The system identifies image slices that bring the target region and the tool into focus, determines their respective depth coordinates, and compares the difference against a threshold based on the target region’s dimensions. This quantitative comparison helps establish whether the tool is positioned within the target.
