Abstract
Methods of positioning a surgical instrument can involve advancing a first medical instrument to a treatment site of a patient, the first medical instrument comprising a camera, recording a target position associated with a target anatomical feature at the treatment site, generating a first image of the treatment site using the camera of the first medical instrument, identifying the target anatomical feature in the first image using a pretrained neural network, and adjusting the target position based at least in part on a position of the identified target anatomical feature in the first image.
