TEMPLATES FOR OPTICAL SHAPE SENSING CALIBRATION DURING CLINICAL USE

摘要

A medical device calibration apparatus, system and method include a calibration template (202) configured to position an optical shape sensing enabled interventional instrument (102). A set geometric configuration (206) is formed in or on the template to maintain the instrument in a set geometric configuration within an environment where the instrument is to be deployed. When the instrument is placed in the set geometric configuration, the instrument is calibrated for a medical procedure.
