Fiber Optic RealShape (FORS) is a new technology that visualizes the full three-dimensional shape of medical devices, such as catheters and guidewires, using an optical fiber embedded in the device. This three-dimensional shape provides guidance to clinicians during minimally invasive procedures, and enables intuitive navigation. The objective of this paper is to assess the accuracy of the FORS technology, as implemented in the current state-of-the-art Philips FORS system. The FORS system provides the shape of the entire device, including tip location and orientation. We consider all three aspects.

台式实验中表征的医疗设备光纤传感的形状精度

Fiber Optic RealShape (FORS) 是一种新技术，它使用嵌入在设备中的光纤来可视化医疗设备（例如导管和导丝）的完整 3D 形状。这种三维形状在微创手术期间为临床医生提供指导，并实现直观的导航。本文的目的是评估在当前最先进的飞利浦 FORS 系统中实施的 FORS 技术的准确性。FORS 系统提供整个设备的形状，包括尖端位置和方向。我们考虑所有三个方面。
