Assignee: CARL ZEISS MEDITEC AG
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 8:
9. A system for acquiring annotated data, comprising:
a management unit; and
a plurality of surgical microscopy systems;
wherein the management unit comprises:
a communication unit configured for:
obtaining at least one set of desired criteria;
transmitting the obtained at least one set of desired criteria to the plurality of surgical microscopy systems;

a database configured for:
storing the obtained at least one set of desired criteria;

wherein each of the plurality of surgical microscopy systems comprises:
a communication unit configured for:
receiving the at least one set of desired criteria transmitted by the management unit;

a storage unit configured for:
storing the at least one received set of desired criteria;

a microscope configured for:
recording image data including at least one image;

a data processing apparatus configured for:
determining a set of current criteria from the recorded image data,
determining whether the determined set of current criteria sufficiently corresponds to any one of the stored at least one set of desired criteria,
when a result of the determining indicates that the determined set of current criteria sufficiently corresponds to any one of the stored at least one set of desired criteria, requesting a confirmation from a user of the surgical microscopy system as to whether said user would like to annotate the recorded image data;

a user interface configured for:
receiving the confirmation from the user, and,
when receiving the confirmation, receiving at least one annotation from the user;

wherein the data processing apparatus is further configured for:
storing the received at least one annotation and the recorded image data as annotated data in a database of the surgical microscopy system.
