    Abstract: A device comprises an instrument usable to collect location data for one or more passageways. The device further comprises one or more processors coupled to the instrument. The one or more processors are configured to organize a plurality of points within the location data by clustering the plurality of points based on distances between points of the plurality of points. The processor(s) are further configured to create a passageway tree based on the organized points and to identify at least three non-collinear landmark locations within the passageway tree. The processor(s) are further configured to create a seed transformation between one or more of the at least three non-collinear landmark locations and corresponding model locations in model data. The processor(s) are further configured to register, using the seed transformation, the plurality of points to the model data for the one or more passageways.

    Abstract: A method comprises, based on a position of a medical instrument within a patient anatomy, determining, by a control system, whether an obstruction is on a surface of a lens of the medical instrument. The method further comprises, based on a determination that the obstruction is on the surface of the lens, instructing, by the control system, a valve control mechanism to open a valve to release a flow of pressurized fluid through a nozzle of the medical instrument and over the surface of the lens. The valve is configured to control provision of the pressurized fluid.

    Abstract: A system and method of planning a procedure includes a planning workstation including: a display system; and a user input device. The planning workstation is configured to: display image data via the display system; receive a first user input via the user input device; display via the display system a target of a medical procedure within the displayed image data identified based at least on the first user input; display an interactive image via the display system, the interactive image including the image data, a plurality of connected anatomical passageways, and the identified target; receive a second user input via the user input device; display via the display system a trajectory between the target and an exit point along a nearest passageway of the plurality of connected anatomical passageways identified based at least on the second user input; receive a third user input via the user input device; and adjust the interactive image based at least on the defined trajectory and the third user input.
