Abstract:
A medical system may comprise a display and a processor configured to determine an optimal position for an image capturing instrument to view working ends of a plurality of medical instruments when the plurality of medical instruments and the image capturing instrument are each extending out of a distal end of an entry guide. The processor may also be configured to cause the optimal position to be displayed on the display along with an image captured by the image capturing instrument of the working ends of the plurality of medical instruments.
