Systems and methods for image-based guidance for facilitating navigation of tubular networks. A region of interest in three-dimensional image data may first be segmented. An endoscopic instrument may be detected in two-dimensional intraoperative image data of the region of interest. A centerline of the detected endoscopic instrument may then be determined. The endoscopic instrument and the centerline may be backprojected to generate a three-dimensional backprojected volume. A device path of the endoscopic instrument may be generated based at least in part on the three-dimensional backprojected volume and the three-dimensional image data.

The disclosure relates to a medical engineering robot, a medical system, a method for operation thereof, a corresponding computer program, and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium. By controlling a pose of an instrument arm of the robot relative to a respective examination object to be treated or to be examined by the robot, the disclosure makes provision for automatically bringing the instrument arm into contact with the examination object and through this for setting a predetermined pose of the examination object.

Image-based guidance for device path planning based on penalty function values and distances between ROI centerline and backprojected instrument centerline

A medical assistance device, a system, and a method are provided for determining a deformation of a subject. Undisturbed image data of the subject and pose data of a robotic instrument are acquired. The medical assistance device is configured to determine the deformation of the subject due to a physical contact between the subject and the robotic instrument based on a biomechanical model. The undisturbed image data and a pose and/or motion of the robotic instrument are provided as input to the biomechanical model. The biomechanical model is predetermined or generated and/or updated based on a strain and/or a stiffness measured by a sensor.
