A system and method for accounting for motion of a target in a medical procedure includes an endoscope () including a tracking mechanism () for tracking positions and orientations of the endoscope. Memory storage () is configured to record the positions of the endoscope when positioned at or near moving target tissue. A motion sensor () is configured to track cyclical motion of an organ such that the cyclical motion of the organ can be correlated to the recorded positions of the endoscope and the target tissue.

System and method for tumor motion simulation and motion compensation using tracked bronchoscopy

An ablation planning system includes a user interface () configured to permit selection of inputs for planning an ablation procedure. The user interface is further configured to incorporate selection of ablation probes and one or more combinations of ablation powers, durations or parameters applicable to selected probes in the inputs to size the ablation volumes. The user interface includes a display for rendering internal images of a patient, the display permitting visualizations of the ablation volumes for different entry points on the internal images. An optimization engine () is coupled to the user interface to receive the inputs and is configured to output an optimized therapy plan which includes spatial ablation locations and temporal information for ablation so that collateral damage is reduced, coverage area is maximized and critical structures are avoided in a planned target volume.

Ablation planning system

A method, system, and program product are provided for providing a medical tracking interface. The method comprises the steps of: receiving tracking data from at least one tracking tool in any one of a plurality of data formats; converting the tracking data to a uniform data format; and outputting the tracking data in the uniform data format to an IGI application.

Interventional information brokering medical tracking interface

A method, system, and program product are provided for x-ray pose recovery during an endoscopic procedure. An x-ray image is taken with a C-arm at a first pose, capturing a region of an endoscope with fiducials thereon. The C-arm is moved from the first pose to a second pose at another viewing angle while maintaining the position of the endoscope. Another x-ray image is taken with the C-arm at the second C-arm pose, capturing the region of the endoscope with the fiducials thereon. The location of the fiducials on each x-ray image is determined using segmentation. An iterative optimization is performed using the locations of the fiducials in the two x-ray images to form two-dimensional projections of the three dimensional curve of the region of the endoscope with fiducials thereon to determine the three-dimensional translation and rotation of the C-arm from the first x-ray pose to the second x-ray pose.

X-ray pose recovery

A system and method for registering three-dimensional images with two-dimensional intra-operative images includes segmenting () a tubular structured organ in a three-dimensional image of the organ, and projecting () the three-dimensional image of the organ into two-dimensional space to provide a projected image. A medical instrument depicted in a two-dimensional image of the medical instrument is segmented (). A similarity score is computed between the projected image and a shape of the medical instrument depicted in the two-dimensional image to determine a best match. The projected image is registered () to the two-dimensional image based on the best match.
