Abstract: Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for medical instrument navigation and targeting. In one aspect, a system includes a medical instrument having an elongate body and at least one sensor, a display, a processor, and a memory storing a model of a mapped portion of a luminal network and a position of a target with respect to the model. The processor may be configured to: determine, based on data from the at least one sensor, a position and orientation of a distal end of the medical instrument with respect to the model, and cause, on at least a portion of the display, a rendering of the model, the position of the target, and the position and orientation of the distal end of the medical instrument. The rendering may be based on a viewpoint directed at the target and different from a viewpoint of the medical instrument.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of forming solid-state ionically conductive composite materials that include particles of an inorganic phase in a matrix of an organic phase. The organic phase includes a cross-linked polyurethane network. The methods involve forming the composite materials from a precursor that is cross-linked in-situ after being mixed with the particles. The cross-linking occurs under applied pressure that causes particle-to-particle contact. Once cross-linked, the applied pressure may be removed with the particles immobilized by the polymer matrix. The polyurethane network is configured for easy processability of uniform films and may be characterized by a hard phase content of at least 20%.
