  • Patent number: 10803662
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for transoral lung access. In some examples, the system includes a bronchoscope, a concentric tube probe deployable from within the bronchoscope, and a steerable needle nested deployable from within the concentric tube probe. The system can include a control system for deploying the concentric tube probe from the bronchoscope into a lung to a location where a target is within a range of the steerable needle and for deploying the steerable needle from the location to the target.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170243522
    Abstract: Radiation-free simulator systems and methods for simulating fluoroscopic procedures or other medical procedures are provided. Simulator systems, methods and computer readable media are provided, comprising a physical, anatomical model of an anatomy of interest, at least one or more video camera positioned proximate the anatomical model and configured to transmit a live video feed or image of the anatomical model, a computer configured for combining a recorded video feed or 2D rendering of a 3D dataset of an actual anatomical area of interest with the live video feed or image of the anatomical model to form a composite image or video, and a display configured to display the composite image or video. A simulated fluoroscopic procedure can be performed on the anatomical model without radiation, and the simulated fluoroscopic procedure is viewable on the display.
