Abstract
The invention relates to system and methods for combined curve temperature and shape sensing and, more particularly, but not exclusively, to system and methods for combined curve temperature and shape sensing in an interventional elongated device. An aspect of some embodiments of the invention relates to monitoring a temperature within a body of a patient before, while and/or after providing a temperature dependent treatment. In some embodiments, the monitoring comprises receiving a plurality of temperature measurement data from a plurality of sensors located along an elongated interventional device from one or more elongated interventional devices.
Claims12
A system for combined curve temperature and shape sensing, comprising:
- a. at least one elongated interventional device, comprising:
- i. an elongated flexible portion;
- and
- ii. a curve sensor located along said elongated flexible portion;
- said curve sensor configured for sensing a shape of said elongated flexible portion and a temperature along said elongated flexible portion;
- b. a processing/controlling module comprising instructions for:
- iii. receiving from said curve sensor one or more measurement values of location and temperature along said curve of said elongated flexible portion;
- iv. based on said received one or more measurement values, calculating a shape and a temperature along said curve of said elongated flexible portion.
A method for combined curve temperature and shape sensing, comprising:
- a. receiving from said curve sensor one or more measurement values of location and temperature along said curve of said elongated flexible portion;
- b. based on said received one or more measurement values, calculating a shape and a temperature along said curve of said elongated flexible portion.
