Abstract: A medical system comprises a probe comprising a terminal distal end. The system further comprises a first coil in the probe and comprises a guide instrument including a terminal distal end and defining a lumen sized to guide the probe. The probe can be inserted through the lumen to reach a worksite. At the worksite, the terminal distal end of the probe is configured to reach at least the terminal distal end of the guide instrument. The system further comprises a sensor embedded in a wall of the guide instrument and comprises processing hardware configured to receive a first induced signal from the first coil and to receive from the sensor an indication of a pointing direction of the guide instrument. The processing hardware is configured to use the first induced signal and the indication of the pointing direction to determine a roll angle of the probe.

Abstract: A medical system comprises a catheter having a first section, a second section and a main lumen extending through the first and second sections. The system also includes an imaging probe sized to extend through the main lumen of the catheter. The system also includes a first electromagnetic sensor extending along a longitudinal sensor axis at a proximal end of the first section and a second electromagnetic sensor extending along the longitudinal sensor axis at a distal end of the first section. The first section between the proximal and distal ends flexibly couples the first and second electromagnetic sensors so that the first electromagnetic sensor is movable with respect to the second electromagnetic sensor. The system also includes a third electromagnetic sensor positioned on the imaging probe and a fiber shape sensor system that extends through the first section between the proximal and distal ends and along the first electromagnetic sensor and the second electromagnetic sensor.

Abstract: A catheter system includes an elongate flexible catheter and a support structure mounted on a proximal portion of the elongate flexible catheter. The support structure includes a first alignment feature configured to mate with a first sensor such that the first sensor is maintained parallel to a longitudinal axis of the support structure, and a second alignment feature configured to mate with a second sensor such that the second sensor is maintained parallel to the longitudinal axis of the support structure and such that the second sensor is fixed relative to the first sensor in at least one degree of freedom.

Abstract: A method comprises generating an image of a set of connected passageways of a patient anatomy and modeling the set of connected passageways of the patient anatomy as a structure of linked bounded-surface elements. The method also comprises receiving position information for a point on an instrument indicating a position of the point relative to the connected passageways and generating adjusted position information for the point including comparing the received position information to the structure of linked bounded-surface elements. The method also comprises creating an adjusted instrument image with the adjusted position information and generating a composite image including the image of the set of connected passageways and the adjusted instrument image.

Abstract: A computer-assisted medical system comprises a flexible elongate instrument. The flexible elongate instrument comprises a plurality of wires extending from a proximal end of the flexible elongate instrument to a distal end of the flexible elongate instrument. Each wire of the plurality of wires may be used to steer the distal end. The system also comprises a control system coupled to the flexible elongate instrument. The control system is configured to monitor movement of the flexible elongate instrument along a longitudinal central axis and determine an extent of motion of the flexible elongate instrument in a first direction along the longitudinal central axis based on the monitoring. The control system is also configured to alter a rigidity of the flexible elongate instrument based on a rigidity profile relative to the extent of motion by adjusting one or more forces applied by the plurality of wires to the distal end of the flexible elongate instrument.

Abstract: A medical system comprises a flexible instrument including a sensor adapted to provide tracking data for a point on the instrument. The medical system further comprises a memory storing images of a patient anatomy and a processor. The processor is configured to identify connected anatomical structures in the stored images of the patient anatomy, generate an anatomical centerline model from the identified connected anatomical structures, select a set of points disposed on a set of anatomical centerlines of the anatomical centerline model, generate a first plurality of cylindrical linkage elements representing the connected anatomical structures, receive the tracking data corresponding to the point on the instrument when the instrument is positioned within at least one of the connected anatomical structures, and match the point on the instrument to one of the first plurality of cylindrical linkage elements.

Abstract: A method comprises identifying connected anatomical structures in stored images of a patient anatomy and generating a first three-dimensional model of anatomic passageways including a set of anatomical centerlines of the anatomic passageways, and generating a second three-dimensional model of the anatomic passageways including a plurality of linkage elements each including two base points defining a linkage element centerline spanning a shortest distance between the two base points. The method also comprises receiving tracking data corresponding to a point on an instrument positioned within the connected anatomical structures, matching the point on the instrument to one of the plurality of linkage elements representing one of the connected anatomical structures to locate the instrument relative to the connected anatomical structures in the stored images of the patient anatomy, and updating the matching of the point on the instrument to one of the plurality of linkage elements.
