Hub for device navigation with optical shape sensed guidewire

A system for optical shape sensing, comprising:

• a hub body configured to receive an elongated flexible instrument with an optical shape sensing system coupled to the flexible instrument within a path formed in the hub body;
• a profile formed in the hub body in the path to impart a hub template configured to distinguish a portion of the elongated flexible instrument within the hub in shape sensing data;
• an attachment mechanism formed on the hub body to detachably connect the hub body to a deployable instrument;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• interpret the shape sensing data to identify the hub template in the shape sensing data to account for a position of the hub and the deployable instrument during deployment in a medical procedure;
• and identify a position of the hub template is in the shape sensing data to account for a position of the hub and the deployable instrument during deployment in a medical procedure.

A system for optical shape sensing, comprising:

• a hub body configured to receive an elongated flexible instrument with an optical shape sensing system coupled to the flexible instrument within a deformable path formed in the hub body;
• the deformable path includes a mechanism for displacing the flexible instrument to form a profile in the hub body in the deformable path to impart a hub template, when the mechanism is in a first position, to distinguish a portion of the flexible instrument within the hub in shape sensing data;
• an attachment mechanism formed on the hub body to detachably connect the hub body to a deployable instrument;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores instructions, which when executed by the processor causes the processor to identify a position of the hub template in the shape sensing data to account for a position of the hub and the deployable instrument during deployment in a medical procedure, wherein one end of the deformable path formed in the hub body is configured to lead to a lumen of the deployable device via a connection between the hub body and the deployable device.
