    Abstract: An apparatus includes a reference fixture. The reference fixture includes a joint, and a joint tracker to track motion of the joint. The apparatus also includes a surgical instrument. A tether is connected between the joint and the surgical instrument. A shape sensor extends from the reference fixture through the joint, through the tether, and into the surgical instrument. The shape sensor is substantially free of twist. The joint tracker measures the motion of the joint. Information from the shape sensor in combination with information from the joint tracker provides absolute three-dimensional information relative to the reference fixture, i.e., provides absolute three-dimensional information in a fixed world reference frame.

    Abstract: A shape sensing apparatus comprises an instrument including an elongated shaft with a neutral axis. The shape sensor 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 medical system may comprise a catheter that includes an elongate body and a main lumen extending longitudinally through the elongate body. The medical system may also comprise a vision probe that includes a tube extendable through the main lumen of the catheter and comprising a flexible body having an outermost wall and an innermost wall, the innermost wall defining a central lumen. The flexible body contains a plurality of channels formed within the flexible body of the tube and separated from the central lumen by the innermost wall. The plurality of channels includes oblong channels for irrigation and suction and auxiliary channels. The oblong channels have concentric arc shaped surfaces forming an arcuate channel cross-section. The auxiliary channels have a different shape than the one or more oblong channels. The vision probe also includes an imaging system and illumination fibers running through respective auxiliary channels in the tube.
