Abstract
Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for localizing and/or navigating a medical instrument within a luminal network. A medical system can include an elongate body configured to be inserted into the luminal network, as well as an imaging device positioned on a distal portion of the elongate body. The system may include memory and processors configured to receive from the imaging device image data that includes an image captured when the elongate body is within the luminal network. The image can depict one or more branchings of the luminal network. The processor can be configured to access a machine learning model of one or more luminal networks and determine, based on the machine learning model and information regarding the one or more branchings, a location of the distal portion of the elongate body within the luminal network.
