Patent ID: 11925497
Assignee: MAZOR ROBOTICS LTD.
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A system for capturing a single image with multiple exposures comprising:
an imaging device comprising a source configured to emit a wave for a time period and a detector configured to receive a signal indicative of the wave, the detector configured to absorb light;
at least one processor; and
a memory storing data for processing by the processor, the data, when processed, causing the processor to:
emit a wave for a time period;
receive a signal indicative of the emitted wave;
save a first image dataset with a first timestamp referencing a first time within the time period; and
save a second image dataset with a second timestamp referencing a second time within the time period, the second time occurring after the first time,
wherein the first image dataset provides an image with a first exposure and the second image dataset provides an image with a second exposure, the first exposure being shorter than the second exposure,
wherein the first exposure corresponds to less light being absorbed than the second exposure, and
wherein at least one object with a low attenuation is visible in the first image dataset having the first exposure and is fully saturated in the second image dataset.
