  • Publication number: 20230123739
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for integrating images from various sources and using the same to guide endoscopic procedures are disclosed. An endoscopic system comprises an endoscope to be positioned and navigated in a patient anatomy, and a processor configured to reconstruct a three-dimensional (3D) image of an anatomical target based on at least two images of the anatomical target. The at least two images can be calibrated and registered using respective landmarks. One or more secondary images can be integrated with the reconstructed 3D image. The reconstructed image or the integrated image, along with the endoscope navigation plan, can be displayed to a user. Based on the reconstructed or the integrated image, the processor can generate an endoscope navigation plan for use in an image-guided endoscopic procedure.
