Abstract: A system for deploying a device includes an elongated flexible instrument (108) and a shape sensing system (104) coupled to the flexible instrument. A hub (106) includes a shape profile configured to receive and maintain the flexible instrument with the shape sensing system therein. The shape profile includes a shape to track a position or a rotation of the hub relative to a reference position using the shape sensing system.

Abstract: A probe device comprising an elongate flexible body and bend sensors for detect bending of the body and producing an output signal that is indicative of the detected bend. The probe device is connected to a processor which creates a data model of the probe device from the respective output signals of the bend sensors and renders the data model as an image of said probe device. The image may be superimposed with an image of an object, for example part of a human or animal body, into which the probe device is inserted during use.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for the placement of elongate medical members within a patient's body using coaptive ultrasound that combines magnetic guidance with ultrasound visualization of the medical member in the patient's body. A coaptive ultrasound probe adaptor magnetically attracts an elongate medical member within the patient with sufficient force so as to allow the operator to manually guide the member to its intended location. The adaptor mates with an ultrasound probe to provide the medical operator ultrasound feedback of the position of the member, thus allowing internal placement without the need for more specialized medical equipment.

Abstract: A robotic medical system with a flexible guide tube such as a lung catheter can record the shape of the guide tube in a target configuration. If the shape includes a bend that is sharper than a sharpest permitted bend for insertion or removal of a tool such as a biopsy needle, a control system can find any locations of sharp bends and automatically retract the guide tube to a location associated with a sharp bend. With the tip backed up to that location, the needle can be inserted into or removed from the catheter. The control system can automatically move the catheter between the target configuration and the retracted configuration of the guide tube.

Abstract: A system and method for tracking and determining characteristics of an inflatable medical instrument that is configured for interventional deployment. The system includes a guidewire that is positioned within a lumen of the inflatable medical instrument. The guidewire includes an optical fiber for a FORS system. The FORS system is configured to measure a shape of the guidewire during the interventional deployment of the inflatable medical instrument. A shape analysis module is configured to analyze the FORS data from the FORS system and determine characteristics of the inflatable medical instrument, including the diameter of the inflatable instrument, the pressurization of the instrument, whether the instrument has ruptured and the position of the inflatable instrument during an interventional procedure.

Abstract: A medical instrument includes a printed sensor, a surface, at least one non-conductive material, and at least one pair of contacts. The sensor has at least one coil formed on a conductive material. The surface is suitable for receiving the printed sensor and can be placed in an EM field. The at least one non-conductive material covers the at least one coil of the sensor. The medical instrument contains multiple conductive and nonconductive layers. The at least one pair of contacts are electrically connected to the at least one coil and connectable to the conductive layer, the conductive layer coupled to a measurement device, which senses an induced electrical signal based on a magnetic flux change of the EM field. The location of the medical instrument in a coordinate system of the EM filed is identified based on the induced electrical signal in the sensor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a catheter (2) and a magnetic resonance imaging system (1) being usable for detecting the catheter (2) in the magnetic resonance imaging system (1). The catheter (2) comprises a cavity for providing a magnetic resonance fluid from which magnetic resonance signals generated by the magnetic resonance imaging system (1) are receivable, wherein the cavity is adapted for providing at least one of a cooling and an irrigation fluid as the magnetic resonance fluid. The catheter (2) comprises further a tracking coil (15) for tracking the catheter (2), wherein the tracking coil (15) is adapted to receive the magnetic resonance signals from the magnetic resonance fluid. Thus, the magnetic resonance fluid fulfils several functions, providing magnetic resonance signals for tracking the catheter (2) and cooling and/or irrigation.

Abstract: Articulation devices, systems, methods for articulation, and methods for fabricating articulation structures will often include simple balloon arrays, with inflation of the balloons interacting with elongate skeletal support structures so as to locally alter articulation of the skeleton. The balloons can be mounted to a substrate of the array, with the substrate having channels that can direct inflation fluid to a subset of the balloons. The articulation array structure may be formed using simple planar 3-D printing, extrusion, and/or micromachining techniques. The skeleton may comprise a simple helical coil, and the array can be used to locally deflect or elongate an axis of the coil under control of a processor. Inflation fluid may be directed to the balloons from an inflation fluid reservoir of an inflation system, with the inflation system preferably including valves controlled by the processor. The articulation structures can be employed in minimally invasive medical catheter systems, and also for industrial robotics, for supporting imaging systems, for entertainment and consumer products, and the like.
