Abstract: A system including an instrument having an elongate body, and a control system communicatively coupled to the instrument. The control system is configured to access a branched skeleton model defining a skeleton including a plurality of segments representing respective segments of a luminal network, identify a segment of the plurality of segments of the branched skeleton model corresponding to a position of a distal end of the instrument, determine a depth along the segment corresponding to the position of the distal end of the instrument, and determine a position of the distal end of the instrument relative to an anatomical map of the luminal network based on the identified segment and the depth along the segment.

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.
