OSS guiding and monitoring systems, controllers and methods

An optical shape sensing (OSS) guiding and monitoring system, comprising:

• an interventional device including an integration of a OSS sensor and at least one interventional tool,
• wherein the OSS sensor is structurally configured to generate shape sensing data informative of a shape of the OSS sensor as the interventional device is navigated within an anatomical region;
• and
• an OSS guiding and monitoring device including
• an OSS guiding controller structurally configured to control a reconstruction of a shape of the interventional device within the anatomical region responsive to a generation of the shape sensing data by the OSS sensor;
• and
• an OSS monitoring controller structurally configured to designate a proximal OSS node and distal OSS node of the OSS sensor, and to control a monitoring of a degree of folding and a degree of twisting of the interventional device within the anatomical region between the proximal OSS node and the distal OSS node including the OSS monitoring controller generating at least one of a pushability metric and a torquability metric responsive to a generation of the shape sensing data by the OSS sensor between a proximal device node and a distal device node, wherein:
• the pushability metric quantifies an estimated degree of folding of the interventional device between a proximal device node and a distal device node of the interventional device;
• and the torquability metric quantifies an estimated degree of twisting of the interventional device between a proximal device node and a distal device node of the interventional device.
