Abstract:
A method comprises generating a model of an anatomic region and receiving a true image from an endoscopic image capture probe positioned within the anatomic region. The method further comprises identifying a true fiducial region in the true image and identifying a plurality of virtual tissue structures in the model of the anatomic region. The method further comprises matching one of the plurality of the virtual tissue structures with the true fiducial region and determining a probe pose of the endoscopic image capture probe from the matched one of the plurality of virtual tissue structures.
Abstract:
A method comprises identifying connected anatomical structures in stored images of a patient anatomy and generating a plurality of cylindrical linkage elements representing the connected anatomical structures. The method also comprises receiving tracking data corresponding to a point on an instrument positioned within at least one of the connected anatomical structures; and matching the point on the instrument to one of the plurality of cylindrical linkage elements.
Abstract:
A medical robotic system and method of operating such comprises taking intraoperative external image data of a patient anatomy, and using that image data to generate a modeling adjustment for a control system of the medical robotic system (e.g., updating anatomic model and/or refining instrument registration), and/or adjust a procedure control aspect (e.g., regulating substance or therapy delivery, improving targeting, and/or tracking performance).
Abstract:
A method and medical system for estimating the deformation of an anatomic structure that comprises generating a first model of at least one anatomical passageway from anatomical data describing a patient anatomy and determining a shape of a device positioned within the branched anatomical passageways. The method and medical system also comprise generating a second model of the plurality of branched anatomical passageways by adjusting the first model relative to the determined shape of the device.
Abstract:
A non-transitory machine-readable media stores instructions that, when run by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to store a deformable model of a patient anatomy and deform the deformable model based on a measured deformation of a branched anatomical structure of the patient anatomy. The deformable model includes a skeleton tree of nodes and linkages representing the branched anatomical structure of the patient anatomy. Each of the nodes is located at a respective bifurcation of the branched anatomical structure, and at each respective bifurcation the corresponding linkages include an orientation. The deformable model is deformed by modifying the orientations of the linkages of the branched anatomical structure.

Abstract:
A medical system comprises a memory for receiving intraoperative external image data for at least a portion of a patient anatomy. The memory further receives intraoperative pose data for a medical instrument of the medical system. The medical system further comprises a processor configured for generating a first model of the patient anatomy. The processor is further configured for, based on the intraoperative external image data, intraoperatively generating an updated model of the patient anatomy that is different from the first model. The updated model includes an anatomical structure that is not present in the first model.
Abstract:
A method of planning a procedure to deploy an interventional instrument comprises receiving a model of an anatomic structure. The anatomic structure includes a plurality of passageways. The method further includes identifying a target structure in the model and receiving information about an operational capability of the interventional instrument within the plurality of passageways. The method further comprises identifying a planned deployment location for positioning a distal tip of the interventional instrument to perform the procedure on the target structure based upon the operational capability of the interventional instrument.
Abstract:
A system for performing an interventional procedure comprises an interventional instrument and a control system. The control system comprises a processor and a memory comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the control system to receive a model of an anatomic structure record a target location for a target structure identified in the model, determine a planned deployment location for the interventional instrument to perform the interventional procedure on the target structure, receive sensor data including an operative image of the target structure from a sensor system, and identify, based on the operative image of the target structure, a revised deployment location for the interventional instrument to perform the interventional procedure on the target structure.
