    摘要: A system is configured to perform operations includes accessing a set of model points of a model of an anatomic structure of a patient, the model points being associated with a model space. A set of measured points of the anatomic structure of the patient are collected, the measured points being associated with a patient space. The set of model points are registered to the set of measured points using a first set of initial parameters to generate a first transformation. One or more sets of perturbed initial parameters are generated based on the first set of initial parameters. One or more perturbed registration processes are performed to register the set of model points to the set of measured points using the one or more sets of perturbed initial parameters respectively to generate corresponding perturbed transformations. A registration quality indicator is generated based on the first transformation and the one or more perturbed transformations.

    摘要: A processing system may comprise a central processing unit, a graphics processing unit, and a memory having computer readable instructions. The computer readable instructions may cause the processing system to obtain a reference tree of nodes and linkages based on a reference 3D volumetric representation of a branched anatomical formation in a reference state and obtain, by the central processing unit, a reference 3D geometric model based on the reference tree. The instructions may also cause the processing system to receive, by the graphics processing unit, a non-rigid transform for the nodes of the reference tree and determine, by the graphics processing unit, a rigid transform for the reference tree nodes based on the non-rigid transform. The instructions may also cause the processing system to transform each node into a deformed node, create a 3D deformation field, and create a deformed 3D geometric model of the branched anatomical formation.

    摘要: A guiding apparatus comprises a support assembly extending along a longitudinal axis and including a first plurality of linkages and a second plurality of linkages. The first plurality of linkages includes a first channel formation and the second plurality of linkages includes a second channel formation. The support assembly has a coupled configuration with a proximal end and a distal end in which the first plurality of linkages is coupled to the second plurality of linkages with the first and second channel formations arranged to form a continuous channel through the support assembly. The continuous channel has an opening sized to receive an elongated flexible instrument.

    摘要: Methods and systems of registering a model of one or more anatomic passageways of a patient to a patient space are provided herein. An exemplary method may include accessing a set of model points of the model of the passageways, the model points being associated with a model space, collecting measured points along a length of a catheter inserted into the passageways of the patient, the measured points determined by a shape of the catheter, and assigning points of the first set to a plurality of subsets. The exemplary method may further include registering each of the subsets with the model points to produce a plurality of registration candidates, comparing the candidates to identify an optimal subset associated with an optimal registration of the plurality of candidates that translates the set of model points and at least one set of the sets of measured points into a common space.

    摘要: A processing system comprises a processor and a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon. The computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the system to obtain a reference tree of nodes and linkages based on a reference three dimensional volumetric representation of a branched anatomical formation in a reference state. The computer readable instructions also cause the system to obtain a reference three dimensional geometric model based on the reference tree and detect deformation of the branched anatomical formation due to anatomical motion based on measurements from a shape sensor. The computer readable instructions also cause the system to obtain a deformed tree of nodes and linkages based on the detected deformation and create a three dimensional deformation field that represents the detected deformation of the branched anatomical formation.

    摘要: A medical system comprises a catheter containing a mechanical system that is remotely operable to control a distal tip of the catheter. The medical system also comprises a sensor configured to at least partly measure a pose of the distal tip and a control system coupled to the mechanical system. The control system includes a memory operable to store parameters of a working configuration of the distal tip of the catheter and a plurality of operating modes including a holding mode in which the control system operates the mechanical system to actively maintain the working configuration of the distal tip based on feedback from the sensor. The control system also includes a plurality of modules. During activation of the holding mode, the plurality of modules is configured to sense a current pose of the distal tip and determine a difference between the current pose and the working configuration. The difference is due to an external disturbance. Without user input, the plurality of modules is also configured to operate the mechanical system to move the catheter to minimize the difference between the current pose and the working configuration.
