The human heart is a fragile and dynamic organ that requires careful approach during catheter intervention. It is essential for physicians to have a high degree of awareness of the anatomy and the relative pose of the catheter when operating inside the heart. One of the key aspects that can aid phys
Nowadays, navigating therapeutic catheters takes place under 2D fluoroscopic imaging. This requires considerable training of the clinician and exposes him/her to X-ray radiation. Researchers have increasingly investigated alternative sensing techniques. In this respect, Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG)-bas
Fiber optic shape sensing is gaining popularity within areas such as medical catheterization where catheters and guidewires are used to navigate through tortuous vascular paths. Shape sensing can aid medical interventionalists by reducing exposure to damaging radiation and providing a more detailed
