Abstract

See full text

The technology relates to systems and methods for an endoscope with a collapsible working channel and implementing a virtual anchor in an endoscope with a steerable tip. An example endoscope includes a proximal end, a steerable distal tip including an articulating segment, and a collapsible working channel, positioned on an outer surface of the endoscope, capable of selectively collapsing and expanding to receive a surgical tool. The collapsible working channel includes a proximal opening and a distal opening positioned proximally from the articulating segment. Virtual anchoring may include setting a reference image frame, identifying a landmark feature, determining a first position of the landmark feature, receiving an updated image frame; identifying the landmark feature in the updated image frame, determining a second position of the landmark feature, and based on a difference between the first position and the second position: generating corrective steering signals or shifting a cropped region.
