CATHETER ASSEMBLY MOTION DETECTION INCLUDING PROLAPSE DETECTION
CATHETER ASSEMBLY MOTION DETECTION INCLUDING PROLAPSE DETECTION
A system for robotically controlling interventional devices can detect catheter prolapse. The system can estimate a catheter position based at least in part on the imaging of a patient. The system can compare changes in the image-based catheter position to data provided by a catheter drive system. Based on this comparison, the system can determine whether catheter prolapse has occurred or the degree to which catheter prolapse has occurred. Methods of detecting and predicting catheter prolapse are also disclosed.
