Embodiment Construction
[0027] figure 1 An interventional system comprising an elongated interventional device 1 is shown schematically and exemplarily. The elongated interventional device may be configured as a catheter, guidewire, endoscope or similar device inserted by a physician into the patient's body 7 when the patient's body 7 is positioned within the examination region 5 during an interventional procedure. Within the examination area 5, the patient's body may be positioned on a patient table 8 or similar support.
[0028] In order to determine the shape of the elongated interventional device 1 during the interventional procedure, optical shape sensing techniques are employed. Accordingly, the optical shape sensing fiber 9 is integrated into the elongated interventional device 1 such that the optical fiber 9 extends preferably along the longitudinal extension of the elongated interventional device 1 , preferably but not necessarily over the entire length of the elongated interventional devic...
