    摘要: A robotic instrument system having an elongate sheath instrument and an elongate catheter instrument positioned within a working lumen of the sheath instrument is controlled by selectively operating an instrument driver coupled to the catheter instrument to place a control element extending through the catheter instrument in tension, and thereby articulate at least a distal end portion the catheter instrument, while automatically compensating for a torsional force exerted on the sheath instrument in a first direction due to articulation of the distal end portion of the catheter, by urging the sheath instrument to twist in a second direction opposite of the first direction.

    摘要: A variety of embodiments relate to systems, methods, circuits and devices are implemented to perform location-based correlations. One such embodiment relates to a circuit-implemented method for use with an actual probe within an anatomical structure. For a virtual probe at a virtual location within a model of the anatomical structure, virtual image data captured by the virtual probe is generated. The virtual image data is assessed through a probabilistic comparison of the virtual image data to actual image data captured by the actual probe at an actual location. Based upon the assessment, a correlation is updated between the actual location of the actual probe and a sensed location of the actual probe to provide synchronicity between the sensed location and actual location. For maintaining the synchronicity between a subsequently sensed location and subsequent actual location, the assessment is used to select a new virtual location for the virtual probe.

    摘要: Robotic instrument systems and methods for generating a geometric map of an area of body tissue which is correlated with a tissue characteristic such as tissue compliance or related property. The system comprises a robotically controlled catheter which is controlled by a robotic instrument driver. A force sensor system is provided generates force signals responsive to a force applied to the distal end of the catheter. A position determination system is also provided which generates position signals responsive to the location of the distal end of the catheter. A computer is configured to receive and process the force signals and position signals to generate a geometric map of an area of body tissue correlated to the tissue compliance of different regions of the body tissue or a tissue characteristic determinable from the tissue compliance.
