Instrument Depth Tracking for OCT-Guided Procedures

This system integrates with a surgical OCT system, and by utilizing that OCT data, it determines relative positions of surgical instruments and tissues of interest to enable real-time feedback for the operator. The system provides quantitative feedback for proximity and depth information to the operator about the instruments they are using relative to a given target. This proximity information could be provided to the operator in numerous formats, some of which include visual, auditory, and tactile feedback.
