A system for guidance of an imaging device may include a handheld imaging device, a multidirectional feedback device, and a control unit in communication with the multidirectional feedback device and the handheld imaging device. The control unit may be configured to receive a target location, determine an initial position and pose of the handheld imaging device, calculate a position and pose deviation relative to said initial position and pose, translate said position and pose deviation into control data, and transmit said control data to the multidirectional feedback device, wherein the multidirectional feedback device uses control data to provide an operator with feedback to guide the handheld imaging device towards the target.

System and method for targeting feedback

A medical imaging system may include an imaging device; an optical head coupled to the imaging device, the optical head comprising a plurality of optical sensors; and a control unit in communication with the optical head. The control unit may be configured to: receive data from the plurality of optical sensors, determine a subset of optical sensors from the plurality of optical sensors for viewing one or more visible targets based on the received data from the plurality of optical sensors, and instruct the optical head to transmit images from the subset of optical sensors.

System and devices for image targeting

A system for image-guided surgery may include a visual imaging system, a medical tool comprising a shaft and a tip, wherein the shaft of the tool includes an optically detectable feature that allows a position of the tip to be determined, and a display configured to display a real-time representation of the medical tool including the position of the tip regardless of whether the tip is obstructed or visible.

Surgical needle for a surgical system with optical recognition

An image-guided ultrasound system may include an ultrasound probe, a display configured to communicate with the ultrasound probe to receive ultrasound signals to display images from the ultrasound probe, and an imaging device that may be attached to or integral with the ultrasound probe and configured to communicate with the display to display information derived from images from the imaging device. The imaging device may include a stabilization assembly, an imaging device assembly physically coupled to the stabilization assembly, a plurality of light-sensitive devices physically coupled to the stabilization assembly, and a memory unit physically coupled to the imaging device assembly, the memory unit configured to store calibration or usage information for the image-guided ultrasound system.
