Abstract
A method of controlling a remote navigation system that remotely orients the distal end of the medical device in order to navigate a medical device through a body lumen, the method comprising: displaying an exterior image of the body lumen; superimposing an indicator of the current position of the medical device in the body lumen; displaying a plurality of segment labels; receiving oral commands and recognizing one of the spoken displayed segment labels; and causing the remote navigation system to orient the distal end of the device in a preselected direction associated with the segment corresponding to the displayed segment label.
Claims27
A method of controlling a remote navigation system that remotely orients the distal end of the medical device in order to navigate a medical device through a body lumen or catheter, the method comprising:
- introducing a medical device within a body lumen;
- displaying on a display device an image of a body lumen or cavity divided into a plurality of segments in which the centerline direction of each segment does not vary by more than a predetermined angular amount;
- displaying on the display device a label for at least one of the segments;
- receiving oral commands using a system adapted to receive and process oral commands, and recognizing an oral identification of a particular segment label that is being displayed on the display device as an identified segment;
- and
- transforming the identified segment by causing the remote navigation system to orient the distal end of the medical device that is within the body lumen in a predetermined direction corresponding to the identified segment associated with the recognized segment label.
A method of controlling a remote navigation system that remotely orients the distal end of the medical device in order to navigate a medical device through a body lumen or catheter, the method comprising:
- introducing a medical device within a body lumen;
- processing imaging data of a body lumen or cavity to divide the lumen into a plurality of segments in which the centerline direction of each segment does not vary by more than a predetermined angular amount;
- displaying on a display device an image of a body lumen or cavity divided into a plurality of segments in which the centerline direction of each segment does not vary by more than the predetermined angular amount;
- displaying a label for a plurality of the segments;
- receiving oral commands using a system adapted to receive and process oral commands, and recognizing in the oral commands an oral identification of a particular segment label that is being displayed on the display device as an identified segment;
- and
- transforming the identified segment by causing the remote navigation system to orient the distal end of the medical device that is within the body lumen in a predetermined direction corresponding to the identified segment associated with the recognized segment label.

- displaying a label for a plurality of the segments;
- giving oral commands including the label associated with a segment of the body lumen or catheter to an interface system capable of recognizing the label;
- receiving the oral commands using a system adapted to receive and process oral commands, and recognizing in the oral commands a particular segment label that is being displayed on the display device as an identified segment;
- and
- transforming the identified segment by operating the remote navigation system to orient the distal end of the medical device that is within the body lumen in a predetermined direction corresponding to the identified segment associated with the recognized segment label.
