Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer program products for identifying and mitigating image-to-body divergence are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving sensor data from a medical device while the medical device is inserted within an anatomic region of a patient and after it has been registered to an anatomic model of the anatomic region, where the anatomic model is based on previously-obtained image data of the anatomic region and includes a virtual path extending throughout the anatomic model to an anatomic structure of interest, and where sensor data indicates a location of at least a portion of the medical device; comparing the sensor data to a corresponding portion of the virtual path; based at least in part on the comparison, producing a divergence classifier indicative of a divergence of the anatomic region from the anatomic model; and generating an alert when the divergence classifier exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Anatomic simulators, assemblies, and related methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, an anatomic simulator may include constraint panels that define a variably sized volume configured to receive an organ model. An elastic member may be configured to provide a restorative force when the constraint panels are moved to an expanded configuration. Alignment apertures in the constraint panels may be configured to permit marking of an organ model and/or visibility of a mark disposed on the organ model to position and orient the organ model in the anatomic simulator. In some embodiments, an anatomic simulation assembly may include an anatomic simulator, a pressure source, pneumatic controls, a pressure sensor, and a processor. In some embodiments, a method of simulating anatomic motion may include flowing a fluid to an organ model, sensing a pressure, and controlling the flow of fluid based on the sensed pressure to maintain a target pressure.

Abstract: A surgeon support system comprising a base having a foot platform with an appropriate angle adapted to support a user's feet. The base surface may be lifted using a jack pedal and the height is adjusted by a base handle. A knee pad is supported by a knee support bar which is attached to the base. The knee pad is pivotally connected to a seat pad and a chest pad support bar. The seat pad is supported by a seat pad height-adjusting strut and the height is adjustable by a seat pad height-adjusting handle. The chest pad support bar supports a chest pad for forward and backward movement of the user. The angle position of the chest pad is adjusted and released by an angle-adjusting knob on a chest pad angle-adjusting bar. The surgeon support system stabilizes a user close to a workspace for extended periods of time.
