Abstract
A system and method for determining the position of a non-shape-sensed guidewire () and for visualizing the guidewire. The system includes a shape-sensed catheter () having a lumen () that is configured to receive the non-shape-sensed guidewire. A measurement module () is configured to measure a distance that the non-shape-sensed guidewire moves. The measurement module may receive signals from a sensor () associated with a measurement assembly that is configured to receive at least a portion of the non-shape-sensed guidewire and/or the shape-sensed catheter. A location module () is configured to determine a position of the non-shape-sensed guidewire. The system is configured to generate a virtual image () of the guidewire, including a portion of the non-shape-sensed guidewire that does not extend along a shape-sensing optical fiber.
