Abstract
Systems and method for assisted catheter steering are provided. Instructions for steering a catheter within a patient are received. A graph defining paths between a plurality of configurations of a robotic catheter navigation system is constructed based on the received instructions. Each of the plurality of configurations are associated with a respective view of the patient. A path is determined in the graph to a target configuration of the plurality of configurations of the robotic catheter navigation system. The catheter is automatically steered within the patient based on the determined path in the graph to recover the respective view of the patient associated with the target configuration.
