Patent number: 11631174Abstract: A method for using an assembled three-dimensional image to construct a three-dimensional model for determining a path through a lumen network to a target. The three-dimensional model is automatically registered to an actual location of a probe by tracking and recording the positions of the probe and continually adjusting the registration between the model and a display of the probe position. The registration algorithm becomes dynamic (elastic) as the probe approaches smaller lumens in the periphery of the network where movement has a bigger impact on the registration between the model and the probe display.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Dorian Averbuch, Oren Weingarten, Leo Joskowicz, Igor Markov, Ivan Vorobeychyk, Ran Cohen

Patent number: 11564751Abstract: Systems and methods for visualizing navigation of a medical device with respect to a target using a live fluoroscopic view. The methods include displaying, in a screen, a three-dimensional (3D) view of a 3D model of a target from the perspective of a medical device tip. The methods also include displaying, in the screen, a live two-dimensional (2D) fluoroscopic view showing a medical device, and displaying a target mark, which corresponds to the 3D model of the target, overlaid on the live 2D fluoroscopic view. The methods may include determining whether the medical device tip is aligned with the target, displaying the target mark in a first color if the medical device tip is aligned with the target, and displaying the target mark in second color different from the first color if the medical device tip is not aligned with the target.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Irina Shevlev, Guy Alexandroni, Evgeni Kopel, Oren Weingarten, Scott Frushour, Dafna Mardix, Daniel Ovadia, Mark Zbarjevsky

Patent number: 10285623Abstract: A registration method whereby a sensor-based approach is used to establish initial registration and whereby upon the commencement of navigating an endoscope, image-based registration methods are used in order to more accurately maintain the registration between the endoscope location and previously-acquired images. A six-degree-of-freedom location sensor is placed on the probe in order to reduce the number of previously-acquired images that must be compared to a real-time image obtained from the endoscope.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Dorian Averbuch, Oded Zur, Oren Weingarten
