Abstract: System for guiding an instrument within a vascular network of a patient are disclosed. In some embodiments, the system receives a medical image from a medical imaging device and identifies a distal tip and a direction the instrument in the image. The system may then determine a waypoint for the distal tip of the instrument based at least in part on the position and direction of the distal tip of the instrument. The system may then generate a trajectory command for moving the instrument through the vascular network from the current position to the waypoint. The system may operate in a closed loop. The system may provide the trajectory command to a robotic medical system configured to move the instrument according to the command.

Abstract: Systems and methods for vision-based position and orientation determination for endovascular tools are disclosed. In one example, a method includes receiving a two-dimensional medical image including a view of at least a distal portion of a medical instrument, the distal portion of the medical instrument including one or more fiducials positioned thereon, the one or more fiducials being radio-opaque and visible in the medical image. The method also includes detecting, within the medical image, a two-dimensional appearance of the one or more fiducials, and based on the two-dimensional appearance of the one or more fiducials, determining at least one of a roll angle of the distal portion of the medical instrument, and an incline of the distal portion of the medical instrument.

Abstract: Systems and methods for image space control of a medical instrument are provided. In one example, a system is configured to display a two-dimensional medical image including a view of at least a distal end of an instrument. The system can determine, based on one or more fiducials on the instrument, a roll estimate of the instrument. The system further can receive a user input comprising a heading command to change a heading of the instrument within a plane of the medical image, or an incline command to change an incline of the instrument into or out of the plane of the medical image. Based on the roll estimate and the user input, the system can generate one or more motor commands configured to cause a robotic system coupled to the medical instrument to move the robotic medical instrument.
