GUIDED ANATOMICAL MANIPULATION FOR ENDOSCOPIC PROCEDURES

Various embodiments of the present disclosure encompass manipulative endoscopic guidance device employing an endoscopic viewing controller (20) for controlling a display of an endoscopic view (11) of an anatomical structure, and a manipulative guidance controller (30) for controlling a display of one or more guided manipulation anchors (50-52) within the display of the endoscopic view (11) of the anatomical structure. A guided manipulation anchor (50-52) is representative of a location marking and/or a motion directive of a guided manipulation of the anatomical structure (e.g., grasping, pulling, pushing, sliding, reorienting, tilting, removing, or repositioning of the anatomical structure). The manipulative guidance controller (30) may generate an anchor by analyzing a correlation of the endoscopic view (11) of the anatomical structure with a knowledge base of image(s), model(s) and/or details corresponding to the anatomical structure and by deriving the anchor based on a degree of correlation of the endoscopic view (11) of the anatomical structure with the knowledge base.
