  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOCALIZING, TRACKING AND/OR CONTROLLING MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS
    Publication number: 20230107693
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for tracking, localization or controlling an elongate instrument or other medical instrument in an image or patient.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 14, 2022
    Publication date: April 6, 2023
    Inventors: Sean Walker, Christopher Sewell, June Park, Prabu Ravindran, Aditya Koolwal, Dave Camarillo, Federico Barbagli
  • FLEXIBLE INSTRUMENT LOCALIZATION FROM BOTH REMOTE AND ELONGATION SENSORS
    Publication number: 20230036116
    Abstract: A system and method of tracking a flexible elongate instrument within a patient is disclosed herein. The system is configured to obtain remote localization measurement data of the flexible elongate instrument and obtain elongation measurement data of the flexible elongate instrument. This data is combined and transformed to a coordinate reference frame to produce a localization of the flexible elongate instrument that is more accurate than the remote localization measurements or elongation measurement data alone. The combined localization is then provided to a localization consumer.
