Abstract
A registration system for medical navigation includes a shape sensing device (SSD) () having at least one sensor () for providing corresponding sensor information (SI) indicative of at least one of a position of the at least one sensor (); a registration fixture () having a channel () configured to receive at least part of the SSD and defining a registration path (P). The registration fixture may be configured to be attached to a registrant object (RO) () defining a workspace. A controller () may be configured to: sense a shape of a path traversed by the SSD based upon the SI when the at least one sensor is situated within the channel (), determine whether the sensed shape of the path corresponds with a known shape selected from one or more known shapes, and perform a coordinate registration based upon the determination.
