摘要：
A method for mapping an internal structure of a patient with an elongate body is provided. The method includes detecting, at a plurality of instances, contact between a distal portion of an elongate body and an internal structure of the patient； determining a plurality of geometric configurations of the distal portion, the plurality of geometric configurations corresponding to the plurality of instances of contact between the distal portion and the internal structure； determining a plurality of positions of the distal portion, the plurality of positions corresponding to the plurality of geometric configurations； and generating a map of the internal structure based on the plurality of positions of the distal portion.
