摘要:
An instrument system that includes an elongate body, an optical fiber and a controller is provided. The optical fiber is at least partially separate from the elongate body. The controller is operatively coupled to the elongate body and to the optical fiber and the controller is adapted to receive a signal from the optical fiber, detect movement of the optical fiber based on the signal and update a position of the elongate body relative to the optical fiber based on the detected movement.
