ALIGNMENT TECHNIQUES FOR PERCUTANEOUS ACCESS

摘要

Techniques for aligning a medical instrument for percutaneous access to a location within the human anatomy can include determining an orientation of the medical instrument, determining a target location within the human anatomy, and determining a plane that includes the target location. Further, the techniques can include determining a projected position of the medical instrument on the plane and generating interface data indicating a distance between the projected position and the target location on the plane.
