21. A system for counting surgical samples comprising:
-
an optical sensor that captures an image of a surgical textile; a processor that identifies the surgical textile in the image, indexes a sample counter for the identified surgical textile, extracts a feature from a portion of the image, estimates the extracorporeal blood volume in a portion of the surgical textile based upon the extracted feature; and a display that depicts the sample counter and the estimated blood volume in at least the portion of the surgical textile. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
