Abstract
A medical system for shape sensing by interacting with a shape sensing element () configured to perform a shape sensing measurement of an interventional device () and by interacting with an image data generation unit () for generating image data () is provided. The medical system includes a shape sensing console () in communication with the shape sensing element () for generating measurement signals of the shape sensing measurement, a shape reconstruction unit () in communication with the shape sensing console for reconstructing a shape () of the shape sensing element based on the generated measurement signals, a receiving unit () for receiving a position and/or orientation of an apparatus (') including the image data generation unit (), a coordinate transformation unit () for registering the reconstructed shape () by representing the reconstructed shape () in a coordinate system based on the received orientation of the apparatus (′), and a connector unit () for connecting the shape sensing console () and/or said shape reconstruction unit () to the shape sensing element (), the connector unit () being detachably connectable to a housing () of the apparatus (′).
