Abstract: A method comprises receiving a position of a tip portion of an instrument at a first location within a patient anatomy and determining a three-dimensional distance between the first location and a target location within the patient anatomy. The method further comprises displaying on a display system an image that includes a target location symbol and an instrument tip portion symbol. The method further comprises displaying on the display system a symbol indicating a direction between the position of the tip portion and the target location. As the tip portion of the instrument changes position, the image is displayed so that the instrument tip portion symbol is a frame of reference for the image and the target location symbol moves with respect to the instrument tip portion symbol to represent a new location of the tip portion relative to the target location.

Abstract: A system includes a fixture having a known location in a surgical reference frame, a medical instrument, a position measuring device, and a computing system. The fixture includes a constraint structure having a known constraint structure pose in the surgical reference frame. The medical instrument includes a reference portion movably coupled to the fixture, an elongate flexible portion coupled to the reference portion, wherein the elongate flexible portion is sized to pass through the constraint structure, and a shape sensor. The position measuring device measures motion of the reference portion with respect to the fixture. The computing system is configured to receive shape information for the medical instrument, receive reference portion position information in the surgical reference frame, determine an estimated constraint structure pose from the reference portion position information and the shape information, determine a correction factor, and modify the shape information based upon the correction factor.

Abstract: A method performed by a computing system comprises receiving a fluoroscopic image of a patient anatomy while a portion of a medical instrument is positioned within the patient anatomy. The fluoroscopic image has a fluoroscopic frame of reference. The portion has a sensed position in an anatomic model frame of reference. The method further comprises identifying the portion in the fluoroscopic image and identifying an extracted position of the portion in the fluoroscopic frame of reference using the identified portion in the fluoroscopic image. The method further comprises registering the fluoroscopic frame of reference to the anatomic model frame of reference based on the sensed position of the portion and the extracted position of the portion.

Abstract: A medical system includes a flexible elongate instrument and a control unit. The control unit is configured to determine a force exerted by the flexible elongate instrument on tissue of a patient, determine a driving state of the flexible elongate instrument, set a force threshold based on the driving state, and provide feedback to an operator in response to the determined force being higher than the force threshold. Different driving states are associated with different force thresholds.

Abstract: A non-transitory machine-readable media stores instructions that, when run by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to store a deformable model of a patient anatomy and deform the deformable model based on a measured deformation of a branched anatomical structure of the patient anatomy. The deformable model includes a skeleton tree of nodes and linkages representing the branched anatomical structure of the patient anatomy. Each of the nodes is located at a respective bifurcation of the branched anatomical structure, and at each respective bifurcation the corresponding linkages include an orientation. The deformable model is deformed by modifying the orientations of the linkages of the branched anatomical structure.
