A medical system may comprise a display system, a user input device, a medical instrument, and a manipulator assembly configured to support and operate the medical instrument. The medical system may also comprise a control system. The control system may be configured to display image data corresponding to a three-dimensional anatomical region via the display system, receive a first user input to generate a first curve in the three-dimensional anatomical region via the user input device, and receive a second user input to generate a second curve in the three-dimensional anatomical region via the user input device. The control system may also be configured to determine an anatomical boundary bounded by the first curve and the second curve. The control system may also be configured to control the manipulator assembly to operate medical instrument using the determined anatomical boundary to limit movement of the medical instrument.
