    Abstract: A shape sensing apparatus comprises an instrument including an elongated shaft with a neutral axis. The shape sensing apparatus also includes a first shape sensor with an elongated optical fiber extending within the elongated shaft at a first radial distance from the neutral axis. The apparatus also includes a shape sensor compensation device extending within the elongated shaft. The apparatus also comprises a tracking system for receiving shape data from the first shape sensor and compensating data from the shape sensor compensation device for use in calculating a bend measurement for the instrument.

    Abstract: A system comprises a medical instrument, including a sensing tool, and a processing unit configured to apply a segmentation function using a first seed to a three-dimensional image of a patient anatomy to create a model; receive position data from the instrument while navigating the patient anatomy; register a position of the instrument with the model; receive data related to the patient anatomy from the sensing tool; and update the model in response to detecting a difference between the model and the patient anatomy. Updating the model includes reapplying the segmentation function using a second seed corresponding to a passageway of the patient anatomy that is not present within the model. Detecting the difference between the model and the patient anatomy includes analyzing temporal information obtained from shape data generated by the sensing tool while the instrument traverses portions of the patient anatomy not represented by the model.
