Embodiment Construction
[0037] The present invention provides a method, device and system for positioning ports for surgical tools with respect to real-time anatomical data from an endoscope.
[0038] figure 2 A device for positioning a port for a surgical tool with respect to real-time anatomical data from an endoscope is shown. According to one embodiment, the endoscope 10 is inserted through the standard port 12. Use existing technology to locate standard ports. The endoscope provides images 16 of anatomical features. In the illustrated embodiment, the endoscope 10 is inserted into the skin 1 between the ribs 2 through the port 212 and into the chest cavity to provide such image 3 The image 16 of the heart 3 shown.
[0039] back to figure 2 , The optical shape sensing fiber 210 (OSS) is connected to the endoscope 10 at a known anchor point 212. In shape sensing, the characteristics of the fiber optic cable are used to determine the three-dimensional shape of the fiber optic cable. Shape sensing ba...
