Abstract
A medical robotic system and method of operating such comprises taking intraoperative external image data of a patient anatomy, and using that image data to generate a modeling adjustment for a control system of the medical robotic system (e.g., updating anatomic model and/or refining instrument registration), and/or adjust a procedure control aspect (e.g., regulating substance or therapy delivery, improving targeting, and/or tracking performance).
Claims25
A method for operating a medical robotic system, the method comprising:
- receiving intraoperative external image data for at least a portion of a patient anatomy, the intraoperative external image data comprising image data for a target location in the patient anatomy;
- and
- at least semi-automatically controlling a medical instrument of the medical robotic system based on the intraoperative external image data to deliver a substance to the target location through the medical instrument of the medical robotic system.
A method for operating a medical robotic system, the method comprising:
- receiving an existing model of a patient anatomy;
- receiving intraoperative external image data for at least a portion of the patient anatomy;
- and
- at least semi-automatically applying an intraoperative modeling adjustment based on the intraoperative external image data to the existing model of the patient anatomy to intraoperatively generate an updated model of the patient anatomy that is different than the existing model.
