Robotic medical systems may perform concomitant procedures. A robotic system can include a first robotic arm configured to manipulate a flexible instrument and a second robotic arm configured to manipulate a rigid instrument. The robotic system can include a first arm support for supporting the first robotic arm and a second arm support, distinct from the first arm support, for supporting the second robotic arm. The robotic system can include a display for displaying feedback from the flexible instrument and the rigid instrument.

The present invention relates to the process of using signal-emitting and/or receiving objects or smart medical devices for image acquisition, and which can utilize a variety of external energy sources which are directly applied and/or incorporated into the host subject to produce a continuous and dynamic visual representation of the host subject on a computer display, which representation hereafter will be referred to as a visualization map. The derived images can be targeted, to small (i.e., focal) areas of clinical interest, to organ systems, or the entire body. The present invention provides a scalable method for continuous and dynamic imaging over prolonged periods of time, as dictated by the clinical context.
