PREDICTING ANATOMICAL DISTENSION BASED ON CASE-SPECIFIC FEATURES FOR PERCUTANEOUS ACCESS PROCEDURES

This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for planning medical procedures. The present implementations more specifically relate to techniques for using machine learning to predict distension of an anatomy and recommend a plan for percutaneously accessing a target within the anatomy based on the predicted distension. In some aspects, a recommendation system may extract features from input data representing a mapping of an anatomy and infer, from the extracted features, a location on the anatomy for percutaneous entry based on a machine learning model trained on fluidics simulations that predict anatomical distension in response to irrigation. Example suitable input data may include three-dimensional images of the anatomy, two-dimensional images of the anatomy, and/or sensor data received via sensors disposed on an instrument within the anatomy. The recommendation system may further generate a plan for percutaneously accessing a target within the anatomy via the location inferred from the set of features.
