Abstract

A system for performing an interventional procedure comprises an interventional instrument and a control system. The control system comprises a processor and a memory comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the control system to receive a model of an anatomic structure, record a target location for a target structure identified in the model, determine a planned deployment location for the interventional instrument to perform the interventional procedure on the target structure, receive sensor data including an intraoperative image of the target structure from a sensor system disposed at least partially within the anatomic structure, and identify, based on the intraoperative image of the target structure from the sensor system disposed at least partially within the anatomic structure indicating a different target location than the recorded target location, a revised deployment location for the interventional instrument to perform the interventional procedure on the target structure.

Claims (38)

1. A system for performing an interventional procedure, the system comprising:

an interventional instrument and

a control system comprising a processor and a memory comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the control system to:

receive a model of an anatomic structure;

record a target location for a target structure identified in the model;

determine a planned deployment location for the interventional instrument to perform the interventional procedure on the target structure;

receive sensor data including an intraoperative image of the target structure from a sensor system disposed at least partially within the anatomic structure; and

identify, based on the intraoperative image of the target structure from the sensor system disposed at least partially within the anatomic structure indicating a different target location of the target structure than the recorded target location, a revised deployment location for the interventional instrument to perform the interventional procedure on the target structure.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the model is generated from images recorded at least one of preoperatively or intra-operatively.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the machine-readable instructions, when executed by the processor further cause the control system to:

identify a revised target location for the target structure based on the intraoperative image of the target structure.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data includes ultrasound sensor data.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data includes optical coherence tomography sensor data.

6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

an imaging probe housing at least a portion of the sensor system.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the sensor data further includes position data for the imaging probe and wherein identifying the revised deployment location is further based on the position data for the imaging probe.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the sensor data includes a roll angle for the imaging probe.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the machine-readable instructions, when executed by the processor further cause the control system to:

receive information about an operational capability of the interventional instrument, wherein identifying the revised deployment location is further based on the operational capability of the interventional instrument.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the information about the operational capability of the interventional instrument includes information about a bending capability of the interventional instrument.

11. A method of performing an interventional procedure, the method comprising:

receiving a model of an anatomic structure;

recording a target location for a target structure identified in the model;

determining a planned deployment location for an interventional instrument to perform the interventional procedure on the target structure;

receiving sensor data including an intraoperative image of the target structure from a sensor system disposed at least partially within the anatomic structure; and

identifying, based on the intraoperative image of the target structure from the sensor system disposed at least partially within the anatomic structure indicating a different target location of the target structure than the recorded target location, a revised deployment location for the interventional instrument to perform the interventional procedure on the target structure.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the model is generated from images recorded at least one of preoperatively or intra-operatively.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

identifying a revised target location for the target structure based on the intraoperative image of the target structure.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the sensor data includes ultrasound sensor data.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the sensor data includes optical coherence tomography sensor data.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the sensor data further includes position data for an imaging probe housing at least a portion of the sensor system and wherein identifying the revised deployment location is further based on the position data for the imaging probe.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the sensor data includes a roll angle for the imaging probe.

18. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving information about an operational capability of the interventional instrument, wherein identifying the revised deployment location is further based on the operational capability of the interventional instrument.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the information about the operational capability of the interventional instrument includes information about a bending capability of the interventional instrument.

20. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

displaying the intraoperative image on a display system.
