Systems and methods for monitoring patient motion during a medical procedure

A method comprises generating, by a control system, a measured model of an elongate instrument based on a measured state of the elongate instrument. The method further comprises generating, by the control system, a predicted model of the elongate instrument based on a reference state of the elongate instrument and a user command. The method further comprises comparing, by the control system, the measured model with the predicted model. The method further comprises determining, by the control system, whether a patient has moved relative to the elongate instrument based on the comparison.

Claims preview

1 . A method, comprising: generating, by a control system, a measured model of an elongate instrument based on a measured state of the elongate instrument; generating, by the control system, a predicted model of the elongate instrument based on a reference state of the elongate instrument and a user command, wherein generating the predicted model comprises combining, by the control system, data corresponding to a reference pose of the elongate instrument with data corresponding to an insertion distance of the elongate instrument to generate the predicted model, wherein the reference pose is based on a first set of data provided by a sensor system extending within the elongate instrument; comparing, by the control system, the measured model with the predicted model; and determining, by the control system, whether a patient has moved relative to the elongate instrument based on the comparison. 2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining, by the control system, a measurement zone, wherein the measured state and the reference state are each based on data received from a segment of the elongate instrument positioned in the measurement zone. 3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the determining the measurement zone includes: determining the measurement zone based on a location determined during a registration process and a distance from the location.
