1. Shape of a flexible instrument can be measured with fiber Bragg grating sensors in a multi-core fiber. [Chapter 2]
2. Position and orientation of a flexible instrument can be measured with fiber Bragg grating sensors in a multi-core fiber. [Chapter 3] 3. Fiber Bragg grating sensors inscribed in helical core fiber are effective twist sensors. [Chapter 4]
4. Improved accuracy in position measurement is observed when fiber Bragg grating sensors are used in conjunction with Ultrasound. [Chapter 5]
5. A flexible instrument’s tip force can be estimated from its shape. [Chapter 6]
6. Fiber Bragg grating sensors hold great promise for clinical application. [Chapter 7]
