Abstract

See full text

A method includes operating an optical tracking sensor to track configurations of first and second sets of optical fiducials, the first set on a patient and the second set on a reference portion of a medical instrument including an elongated flexible body and a rigid proximal body comprising a reference portion. A teleoperational manipulator is configured to move the rigid proximal body and second set along a fixed linear path. The method includes receiving shape information from a shape sensor and determining, using the second set, a position of a reference point of the shape sensor for a plurality of insertion measurements of a position measuring device. The method also includes determining a pose of a portion of the elongated flexible body with respect to a patient anatomy using the configuration of the first set of optical fiducials, the position of the reference point, and the shape information.
