A medical system comprises a display system, a user input device, and a control system communicatively coupled to the display system and the user input device. The control system is configured to display image data of an anatomical region via the display system, determine a target location in the anatomical region, and determine an anatomical boundary based on the target location. The anatomical boundary indicates a surface of an anatomical structure in the anatomical region. The control system is further configured to determine a trajectory zone around a path between an exit point and the target location. The control system is further configured to determine a zone boundary based on an intersection of the trajectory zone with the anatomical boundary.

Systems and methods for automatically generating an anatomical boundary

Systems, devices, methods, and computer program products for identifying and mitigating image-to-body divergence are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving sensor data from a medical device while the medical device is inserted within an anatomic region of a patient and after it has been registered to an anatomic model of the anatomic region, where the anatomic model is based on previously-obtained image data of the anatomic region and includes a virtual path extending throughout the anatomic model to an anatomic structure of interest, and where sensor data indicates a location of at least a portion of the medical device; comparing the sensor data to a corresponding portion of the virtual path; based at least in part on the comparison, producing a divergence classifier indicative of a divergence of the anatomic region from the anatomic model; and generating an alert when the divergence classifier exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Alerting and mitigating divergence of anatomical feature locations from prior images to real-time interrogation

A self-shielded and computer controlled system for performing non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy using a linear accelerator mounted within a two degree-of-freedom radiation shield coupled to a three-degree of freedom patient table is provided. The radiation shield can include an axial shield rotatable about an axial axis and an oblique shield independently rotatable about an oblique axis, thereby providing improved range of trajectories of the therapeutic and diagnostic radiation beams. Such shields can be balanced about their respective axes of rotation and about a common support structure to facilitate ease of movement. Such systems can further include an imaging system to accurately deliver radiation to the treatment target and automatically make corrections needed to maintain the anatomical target at the system isocenter. Various subsystems to automate controlled and coordinated movement of the movable shield components and operation of the treatment related subsystems to optimize performance and ensure safety are also provided.

Imaging systems and methods for image-guided radiosurgery

Methods and systems are provided useful in various procedures, including hair harvesting and implantation, and further including computer-implemented and/or robotic hair transplantation. Methodologies are provided which enable selection of follicular unit harvesting or implanting sites within the same row in a direction of travel of the tool, or by incrementing to another row. In various cases, such selection may be made using a lowest and closest method, overlap-based methods, position-based methods, pattern-based methods, and/or a combination of these methods. In various combinations of the methods, the output selection from one of the methods may be used as an input for one of the other methods.

Methods and systems for directing movement of a tool in hair transplantation procedures

A system may comprise a processor and a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon. The computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the system to record position data for an instrument during an image capture period and determine an instrument position change from the recorded position data. The computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, may also cause the system to compare the instrument position change to a position change threshold and based on the comparison, determine whether to use image data captured by an imaging system during the image capture period in a registration procedure.

Systems and methods for registering an instrument to an image using change in instrument position data

A method of shuffling data may include shuffling a first batch of data using a first memory on a first level of a memory hierarchy to generate a first batch of shuffled data, shuffling a second batch of data using the first memory to generate a second batch of shuffled data, and storing the first batch of shuffled data and the second batch of shuffled data in a second memory on a second level of the memory hierarchy. The method may further include merging the first batch of shuffled data and the second batch of shuffled data. A data shuffling device may include a buffer memory configured to stream one or more records to a partitioning circuit and transfer, by random access, one or more records to a grouping circuit.

Systems, methods, and devices for shuffle acceleration

An exemplary processing system accesses a three-dimensional (3D) model of an anatomical structure of a patient and applies a detection process to the 3D model to detect a single-layer anatomical feature in the anatomical structure. The detection process includes generating, from the 3D model, a probability map of candidate points for the single-layer anatomical feature, and generating, based on the probability map of candidate points, a single-layer mesh representing the single-layer anatomical feature.

Therapeutic radiation beam detector for radiation treatment systems

An accelerator is disclosed. The accelerator may include a memory that may store a dictionary table. An address generator may be configured to generate an address in the dictionary table based on an encoded value, which may have an encoded width. An output filter may be configured to filter a decoded value from the dictionary table based on the encoded value, the encoded width, and a decoded width of the decoded data. The accelerator may be configured to support at least two different encoded widths.

Near-storage acceleration of dictionary decoding

A method of processing data in a system having a host and a storage node may include performing a shuffle operation on data stored at the storage node, wherein the shuffle operation may include performing a shuffle write operation, and performing a shuffle read operation, wherein at least a portion of the shuffle operation is performed by an accelerator at the storage node. A method for partitioning data may include sampling, at a device, data from one or more partitions based on a number of samples, transferring the sampled data from the device to a host, determining, at the host, one or more splitters based on the sampled data, communicating the one or more splitters from the host to the device, and partitioning, at the device, data for the one or more partitions based on the one or more splitters.

Systems, methods, and devices for storage shuffle acceleration

Methods and systems are provided useful in various procedures, including hair harvesting and implantation, and further including computer-implemented and/or robotic hair transplantation. Methodologies are provided which enable a tool, such as a hair harvesting or a hair implantation tool, to proceed at least under a partial computer control in a selected direction of travel along a donor or recipient area of the patient, as well as changing direction of travel based on desired harvesting and/or implantation criteria.

A storage system includes: a storage device to store an array of data elements associated with a sort operation; a storage interface to facilitate communications between the storage device and a host computer; and a reconfigurable processing device communicably connected to the storage device, the reconfigurable processing device including: memory to store input data read from the storage device, the input data corresponding to the array of data elements stored in the storage device; and a kernel including one or more compute components to execute the sort operation on the input data stored in the memory according to a SORT command received from the host computer. The reconfigurable processing device is to dynamically instantiate the one or more compute components to accelerate the sort operation.
