    摘要: A virtual camera may be positioned relative to a 3-D model of a patient anatomy in order to provide a virtual camera view of the surrounding anatomy and tracked surgical instruments being deployed to the anatomy. Visual context provided by the virtual camera may be limited in some cases, such as where a surgical instrument is being used within a very narrow anatomical passageway or cavity. To provide more placement flexibility, an IGS system providing a virtual camera receives inputs defining variable visual characteristics for different segments or regions of the 3-D model, which may include hiding certain segments or making certain segments semi-transparent. With such a system, the view of the 3-D model provided by the virtual camera view may be modified to remove or deemphasize less relevant segments, to display or emphasize more relevant segments (e.g., critical patient anatomy), or both.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a calibration fixture, a calibration position sensor, and interface circuitry. The calibration fixture is sized and shaped to fit over a distal-end of a medical probe, such that the distal-end makes physical contact with a wall of the calibration fixture. The calibration position sensor is fixed in the calibration fixture at a known position relative to the wall, and configured, in response to sensing a magnetic field, to produce position signals indicative of a given position of the calibration position sensor. The interface circuitry is electrically coupled to the calibration position sensor, and is configured to output the position signals.
