Реферат: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for providing tracking information of a medical instrument using optical fiber technology in combination with magnetic sensing technology. The medical device includes an optical fiber. The medical device further includes magnetic elements. A magnet field sensor can be configured to detect magnetic fields defined by the magnetic elements, and to provide electrical signals in accordance with the detection of the magnetic fields to a console. The operations of the console include (i) processing the reflected light signals to determine a physical state of the optical fiber, (ii) processing the electrical signals to determine the positions of the magnetic elements, and (iii) combining the physical state of the medical device with the positions of the one or more of the plurality of magnetic elements to determine at least one of a position, a shape, and an orientation of the medical device within the patient body.
