Abstract
An example system includes memory configured to store a representation of patient tissue and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to determine, via a mechanical response, at least one property of patient tissue at a location relative to a reference position. The processing circuitry is configured to localize, using the reference position, the patient tissue relative to at least one of a medical instrument or a medical device. The processing circuitry is configured to output, for display, a representation of at least one of the medical instrument or the medical device and a representation of the patient tissue, the representation of the patient tissue comprising a representation of the at least one property.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- memory configured to store a representation of patient tissue;
- and
- processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry being configured to:
- determine, via a mechanical response, at least one property of the patient tissue at a location relative to a reference position;
- localize, using the reference position, the patient tissue relative to at least one of a medical instrument or a medical device;
- and
- output, for display, a representation of at least one of the medical instrument or the medical device and a representation of the patient tissue, the representation of the patient tissue comprising a representation of the at least one property.
A method comprising:
- determining, via a mechanical response and by an imaging system, at least one property of patient tissue at a location relative to a reference position;
- localizing, by the imaging system, using the reference position, the patient tissue relative to at least one of a medical instrument or a medical device;
- and
- outputting, by the imaging system, for display a representation of at least one of the medical instrument or the medical device and a representation of the patient tissue, the representation of the patient tissue comprising a representation of the at least one property.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which, when executed, cause processing circuitry to:
- determine, via a mechanical response, at least one property of patient tissue relative to a reference position;
- localize, using the reference position, the patient tissue relative to at least one of a medical instrument or a medical device;
- and
- output, for display, a representation of at least one of the medical instrument or the medical device and a representation of the patient tissue, the representation of the patient tissue comprising a representation of the at least one property.
