Abstract
Systems, devices, methods, and computer program products for identifying and mitigating image-to-body divergence are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving sensor data from a medical device while the medical device is inserted within an anatomic region of a patient and after it has been registered to an anatomic model of the anatomic region, where the anatomic model is based on previously-obtained image data of the anatomic region and includes a virtual path extending throughout the anatomic model to an anatomic structure of interest, and where sensor data indicates a location of at least a portion of the medical device; comparing the sensor data to a corresponding portion of the virtual path; based at least in part on the comparison, producing a divergence classifier indicative of a divergence of the anatomic region from the anatomic model; and generating an alert when the divergence classifier exceeds a predetermined threshold.
