Abstract

A method for controlling a remote navigation system to navigate a medical device in an operating region in a subject is provided, comprising operating the remote navigation system to bring a sensor carried on a medical device successively into a plurality of locations in a predetermined pattern, and using the sensor to sense a physiological property of the subject in each location. At least once thereafter, the method operates the remote navigation system to bring a sensor carried on a medical device successively into a series of locations in a predetermined pattern relative to at least one location selected from the predetermined pattern in the immediate preceding step based upon the sensed physiological property value, and uses the sensor to sense the physiological property in each location.
