    摘要: An optical detection tool employs a surgical end-effector (30) and an optical fiber (20). In operation, the surgical end-effector (30) is navigated within an anatomical region relative to an object foreign to the anatomical region and the optical fiber (20) generates an encoded optical signal indicative of a strain measurement profile of the optical fiber (20) as the surgical end-effector (30) is navigated within the anatomical region. The optical fiber (20) has a detection segment in a defined spatial relationship with the surgical end-effector (30). The strain measurement profile represents a normal profile in the absence of any measurable contact of the foreign object with the detection segment of the optical fiber (20). Conversely, the strain measurement profile represents an abnormal profile in response to a measurable contact of the foreign object with the detection segment of the optical fiber (20).

    摘要: A method, system and apparatus for manufacturing anatomically and functionally accurate soft tissue phantoms with multimodality characteristics for imaging studies is disclosed. The organ/tissue phantom is constructed by filling a container containing an organ having inner vasculature therein with a molten elastomeric material; inserting a plurality of rods with bumps thereupon through the container and the organ; allowing the molten elastomeric material to harden and cure; removing the organ; replacing the organ with a plurality of elastomeric segments; and removing an elastomeric segment and replacing the void created thereupon with molten PVA to create a PVA segment; allowing the molten PVA segment to harden and cure; and repeating the creation of PVA segments until all the elastomeric segments have been removed, such that each successive molten PVA segment adheres to and fuses with the previous hardened PVA segment so as to form an approximately complete organ phantom cast. The organ/tissue phantom is completed by inserting the approximately complete organ phantom cast inserting upside-down into a fixture made from the bottom-most elastomeric segment, which contains molten PVA; and allowing the molten PVA to harden and cure.

    摘要: A system and method for shape sensing assistance in a medical procedure includes providing (402) a three-dimensional image of a distributed pathway system. A shape sensing enabled elongated device is introduced (406) into the pathway system. A shape of the elongated device in the pathway system is measured (410). The shape is compared (414) with the three-dimensional image to determine whether a given path has been selected relative to a target.
