Abstract: Methods and apparatus for accessing and treating regions of the body are disclosed herein. Using an endoscopic device having an automatically controllable proximal portion and a selectively steerable distal portion, the device generally may be advanced into the body through an opening. The distal portion is selectively steered to assume a selected curve along a desired path within the body which avoids contact with tissue while the proximal portion is automatically controlled to assume the selected curve of the distal portion. The endoscopic device can then be used for accessing various regions of the body which are typically difficult to access and treat through conventional surgical techniques because the device is unconstrained by “straight-line” requirements. Various applications can include accessing regions of the brain, thoracic cavity, including regions within the heart, peritoneal cavity, etc., which are difficult to reach using conventional surgical procedures.

Abstract translation: 本文公开了用于进入和处理身体区域的方法和装置。 使用具有自动控制的近端部分和选择性可操纵的远端部分的内窥镜装置，该装置通常可以通过开口进入身体。 远侧部分被选择性地转向以沿着主体内的期望路径呈现出选择的曲线，其避免与组织的接触，而近端部分被自动控制以呈现远端部分的选定曲线。 然后，内窥镜装置可用于通过常规手术技术访问身体的各个区域，这些区域通常难以进入和治疗，因为该装置不受“直线”要求的约束。 各种应用可以包括进入脑，胸腔的区域，包括心脏内的区域，腹膜腔等，这些区域难以用常规外科手术达到。

Abstract: A tunable ablation delivery device is disclosed. The tunable ablation delivery device includes a housing and a detection element on the housing for detecting a physiological indication. The tunable ablation delivery device further includes an ablation element disposed within the housing. An opening in the housing is positioned relative to the ablation element to facilitate a treatment using the ablation element modality.

Abstract: A system for determining the shape of a surgical instrument includes an elongate instrument body having a selectively steerable distal tip, a pair of automatically controlled segments proximal to the selectively steerable distal tip, and a joint that couples the pair of adjacent automatically controlled segments together. An actuator changes an angle of the joint and a position encoder provides information associated with the joint angle. A controller receives the information associated with the angle of the joint and generates a three dimensional model of a shape of the instrument. A method for determining the three dimensional shape of an instrument includes providing axial position data to a controller, providing angular position data to the controller from a respective segment controller, and generating a three-dimensional model of a shape of said instrument using the axial position data and the angular position data.
