Pathway planning for use with a navigation planning and procedure system
First Claim
1. A method of planning a procedure for treatment of tissue adjacent to a luminal network in a patient'"'"'s body, the method comprising:
- generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the luminal network;
displaying the 3D model of the luminal network;
selecting a target location in the tissue adjacent to and outside of the luminal network as displayed on the 3D model;
identifying a point in the luminal network which is proximate to the target location;
determining an access path between the target location and the identified point in the luminal network;
calculating a risk of injury to intervening structures between the target location and the identified point in the luminal network, based on the determined access path; and
displaying the access path and the calculated risk of injury for the access path on the 3D model.

Abstract
Disclosed are systems, devices, and methods for planning a procedure for treatment of lung tissue. An exemplary method includes generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the luminal network, displaying the 3D model of the luminal network, selecting a target location in the tissue adjacent to the luminal network as displayed on the 3D model, identifying a point in the luminal network which is proximate to or at the target location, determining an access path between the target location and the identified point in the luminal network, calculating a risk of injury to intervening structures between the target location and the identified point in the luminal network, based on the determined access path, and displaying the access path and the calculated risk of injury for the access path on the 3D model.

13. A navigation planning and procedure system comprising:
-
a display device; at least one processor in communication with the display; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to; generate a three-dimensional (3D) model of a luminal network; cause the display device to display the 3D model of the luminal network; select a target location in tissue adjacent to and outside of the luminal network as displayed on the 3D model; identify a point in the luminal network which is proximate to the target location; determine an access path between the target location and the identified point in the luminal network; calculate a risk of injury to intervening structures between the target location the point in the luminal network which is proximate to the target location, based on the determined access path; and cause the display device to display the access path and the calculated risk of injury for the access path on the 3D model. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause a computer to:
-
generate a three-dimensional (3) model of a luminal network; cause a display device to display the 3D model of the luminal network; select a target location in tissue adjacent to and outside of the luminal network as displayed on the 3D model; identify a point in the luminal network which is proximate to the target location; determine an access path between the target location and the identified point in the luminal network; calculate a risk of injury to intervening structures between the target location and the identified point in the luminal network, based on the determined access path; and cause a display device to display the access path and the calculated risk of injury for the access path on the 3D model.
