Abstract: A robotic catheter system and methods for implementing corrective actions during use thereof. A method comprises: providing a catheter that has one or more bendable segments and a catheter tip, inserting the catheter into a bodily lumen and navigating the catheter through the lumen along an insertion trajectory while an actuation unit applies an actuation force to the one or more bendable segments; recording a navigation parameter in relation to the insertion trajectory while the catheter is moved through the lumen, displaying, on a display, a graphical representation of the navigation parameter relative to a threshold value indicative of a location along the insertion trajectory where a navigation error of the catheter can occur or has occurred; and outputting to the display an interactive user-guide showing one or more than one corrective actions that can be taken to correct and/or prevent the navigation error.

Abstract: A system configured to control an endoscope probe either in manual mode or in robotic mode. The system comprises: a handle at a proximal end of the probe; a handheld controller attachable to the handle; and a robotic controller in communication with the handle and/or the handheld controller. The handheld controller includes separate controls for the manual and robotic modes. In manual mode, the handheld controller combined with the handle and the probe is used to manually control insertion and actuation of the probe into a first location of a lumen. In robotic mode, the handheld controller is removed from the handle, and the robotic controller controls handle to robotically navigate the probe to a second location within the lumen. Attachment and detachment of handheld controller to the handle is such that only certain controls appropriate to a particular portion of a workflow are accessible to the user.

Abstract: A medical system including a medical device having an outer diameter, a display device, and a controller. The controller is configured to acquire data regarding a biological lumen such as an airway structure, acquire an image of the airway structure, generate an overlay representing the outer diameter of the medical device, and display, on the display device, the overlay representing the outer diameter of the medical device on the acquired image of the airway structure. The overlay is scaled relative to a diameter of the airway structure at a focal plane of the airway structure based on the acquired data.

Abstract: There is provided a navigation system, a medical system, a method of use, and media for using in navigation of a bendable medical device. The system and method comprises a display device and a controller, where the controller is configured to display on the display device an image of a biological lumen imaged from the distal end of a bendable medical device; and a representation of an airway structure. The representation of the airway structure includes: a navigation path through at least a portion of the airways; and a guidance reference plane located perpendicular to navigation path and located at an insertion depth of the distal end of the bendable medical device.

Abstract: A control system controls an endoscope probe in manual mode or robot mode. The system comprises a handle attached to the probe; a portable display controller connectable to the handle; a robotic controller in communication with the handle and/or the portable display controller; and a support platform to which the probe and the portable device controller are attachable according to control mode. In manual mode, the handle is detached from the platform and connected to the portable display controller such that the probe is manually navigated to a first position inside a lumen. In robot mode, the handle is attached to the platform such that the robotic controller cooperates with the handle to robotically navigate the probe to a second position inside the lumen. The portable display controller includes a control section for manipulating the probe and a display section for displaying images of the lumen acquired in both modes.
