News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Currently known minimally invasive procedures for diagnosi s and treatment of medical conditions use shapeable instruments, such as steerab le devices, flexible catheters or more rigid arms or shafts, to approach and add ress various tissue structures within the body.For various reasons, it is highl y valuable to be able to determine the 3-dimensional spatial position of portion s of such shapeable instruments relative to other structures, such as the operat ing table, other instruments, or pertinent anatomical tissue structures.Such in formation can be used for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: i mprove device control; to improve mapping of the region; to adapt control system parameters (whether kinematic and/or solid mechanic parameters); to estimate, p lan and/or control reaction forces of the device upon the anatomy; and/or to eve n monitor the system characteristics for determination of mechanical problems.A lternatively, or in combination, shape information can be useful to simply visua lize the tool with respect to the anatomy or other regions whether real or virtu al.
