Systems and methods are provided for image-guided delivery of therapeutics to an eye. An optical coherence tomography (OCT) imager is configured to produce at least one OCT image of the eye. A therapeutic delivery system is configured to deliver a therapeutic to the eye through a distal end of a delivery mechanism. A system control is configured to determine a position of the distal end of the delivery mechanism and control the therapeutic delivery system according to at least the determined position.

Image-guided delivery of ophthalmic therapeutics

Systems and methods are provided for a microscope-integrated intraoperative scanner system having automated tracking of an instrument tip. A scanning mirror is configured such that a field of view of the OCT system is determined by a position or orientation of the scanning mirror. A drive system is configured to control the scanning mirror. Camera assemblies are configured to determine respective two-dimensional projections of the positions of markers attached to a surgical instrument. A stereo vision system is configured to determine a three-dimensional location of each of the markers from the determined two-dimensional positions. An instrument tracking component is configured to determine a position of a working tip of the surgical instrument according to the determined three-dimensional locations. A drive control is configured to instruct the drive system to adjust the scanner mirror to control the field of view of the OCT system.

Instrument tracking in OCT-assisted surgery

A surgical imaging system is provided. The surgical imaging system includes a surgical microscope and a telecentric optical coherence tomography scanning unit configured to scan a sample through at least one optical component associated with the surgical microscope.
