Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus and computer-implemented method for identifying subintimal path of a flexible elongated device () through a lumen. The apparatus comprises a memory storing data processing instructions configured with curvature-related parameters to process shape- and/or position-related data of an elongated device so as to (i) determine curvature profiles along this elongated device and to ii) associate a curvature profile with a type of curvature representative of subintimal path in the lumen, and a processor in communication with the memory configured to execute the instructions to shape- and/or position-related data measured along at least one segment of the elongated device () and to output an information if a subintimal path has been identified.
