Fiber optical shape sensing of flexible instruments for endovascular navigation. In: International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery, 2019, ISSN: 1861-6429.
Abstract
Endovascular aortic repair procedures are currently conducted with 2D fluoroscopy imaging. Tracking systems based on fiber Bragg gratings are an emerging technology for the navigation of minimally invasive instruments which can reduce the X-ray exposure and the used contrast agent. Shape sensing of flexible structures is challenging and includes many calculations steps which are prone to different errors. To reduce this errors, we present an optimized shape sensing model.
