Abstract
An integrated optical shape sensing system and method include an arrangement structure () configured to receive a fiber port or connector. A platform () is configured to provide a distance relationship with the arrangement structure such that the fiber port or connector is trackable to provide a location reference. The platform secures a patient in proximity to the arrangement structure. An optical shape sensing enabled interventional instrument () has a first optical fiber cable connectable to the fiber port or connector. An optical interrogation module () is configured to collect optical feedback from the instrument and has a second optical fiber cable connectable to the fiber port or connector such that a known reference position is provided for accurate shape reconstruction.
