The present invention relates to an apparatus and computer-implemented method for identifying subintimal path of a flexible elongated device (10) 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 (10) and to output an information if a subintimal path has been identified.
An apparatus for identifying a subintimal path of a flexible elongated device through a lumen, the apparatus comprising:
A computer-implemented method of automatically identify a subintimal path of a flexible elongated device through a lumen, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored a computer program comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
