Abstract
A medical system includes a catheter and a processor. The catheter includes a first channel and a distal end portion associated with a catheter frame of reference. The processor is configured to receive a first image captured by a first imaging device provided by the catheter within a patient anatomy, and receive a second image of the patient anatomy captured by a second imaging device from outside the patient anatomy. The second image includes the catheter and the first imaging device. The processor is further configured to determine a relative pose between the first imaging device and the distal end of the catheter based on the second image, determine a target location associated with a target structure in the first image, and transform the target location in an image frame of reference associated with the first image to the catheter frame of reference based on the relative pose.
