Abstract
A system for tracking coaxial elongated devices in anatomy includes a controller comprising a first interface and a second interface. The coaxial elongated devices comprise an outer elongated device and an inner elongated device driven by a motor. The first interface is configured to receive images including at least one of the outer elongated device or the coaxial inner elongated device. The second interface is configured to receive encoding data representative of the driving of the coaxial inner elongated device by the motor. The controller is configured to receive image including at least one of the outer elongated device, the coaxial inner elongated device being retracted within the outer elongated device; receive the encoding data; determine positions of the outer elongated device; and estimate locations of the coaxial inner elongated device retracted within the outer elongated device based on the positions of the outer elongated device and the encoding data.
