Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing noise in a computer-assisted medical system are described herein. In certain illustrative examples, a system may direct an imaging device to capture one or more pseudo dark frame images of an environment of the imaging device. The system may determine a noise pattern within the set of one or more pseudo dark frame images associated with a coupling of the imaging device and an image processing system. They system may process, based on the noise pattern, additional images captured by the imaging device.

Abstract: An endoscope includes a first subassembly, a second subassembly, a third subassembly, and a fourth subassembly, which are sequentially assembled and tested in making the endoscope. The first subassembly includes a pressure-sealed electrical cable connected to an image capture unit. The second subassembly includes the first subassembly, a shell, a light pipe, and a lid. The third subassembly includes the second subassembly, a central tube, and a flange. The fourth subassembly includes the third subassembly, a base, a shaft, and optionally an articulating assembly.

Abstract: A medical system may include an elongated flexible body including a channel extending through the elongated flexible body. The elongated flexible body includes an articulable portion extending along at least a portion of a length of the elongated flexible body. The medical system may include an instrument configured to be received in the channel of the elongated flexible body, a magnetic field generator configured to generate a magnetic field within the channel, and a magnetic field sensor configured to detect the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator.
