Embodiment Construction

[0015] In accordance with the principles of the present invention, systems and methods are provided for a steerable device that may include an actuated robotically controlled joint that is guided using an image-guided system to place a guidewire in a sinus or other complex cavity or cavity network. The steerable device may include one or more joints and may be referred to as a robot. The joint is configured to change the shape of the steerable device to guide the device into the correct channel. A guidewire may be placed through the lumen of the steerable device. The image control system performs the integration of the pre-operative and intra-operative images and determines from the images the angle in the anatomy at which the position and steering of the steerable tip must be directed.

[0016] It should be understood that the present invention will be described in relation to medical instruments; however, the teachings of the present invention are much broader and apply to...

Abstract

A robot includes a steerable device (402) having one or more robotically controlled joints configured to steer the steerable device. A device control system (430) is configured to adjust positioning of the steerable device in accordance with one of image feedback from an image control system (406) or a plan in a volume such that control commands are issued to the one or more robotically controlledjoints to steer the steerable device in a direction consistent with navigation of the steerable device toward a target.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to medical instrumentation, and more particularly to systems and methods for robotic manipulation of devices using controlled joints in medical applications. Background technique [0002] Balloon sinusplasty is a procedure in which a balloon catheter is inserted into a blocked sinus to relieve the patient's symptoms of a sinus infection. During this procedure, a guide catheter is inserted through the nose into the sinuses. The guide catheter may have a curved end to facilitate access to the appropriate sinus. A guide wire is placed inside the catheter, and once the guide wire is in place, the guide catheter is retracted. A balloon catheter is placed over the guide wire, and the balloon is inflated to open the air passage. The procedure is guided by a flexible endoscope and X-rays. X-rays are often taken to verify that the guidewire is placed in the proper sinus opening. [0003] The anatomy of the sinuses is very com...
