1. An instrument system, comprising:
- an elongate body;
a first optical fiber operatively coupled to the elongate body and having a first strain sensor provided on the first optical fiber;
a second optical fiber operatively coupled to the elongate body and having a second strain sensor provided on the second optical fiber; and
a controller operatively coupled to the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber and adapted to;
receive a first signal from the first strain sensor and a second signal from the second strain sensor; and
compare the first signal with the second signal.

Abstract
An instrument system that includes an elongate body, a first optical fiber, a second optical fiber, and a controller is provided. The first optical fiber is operatively coupled to the elongate body and has a first strain sensor provided on the first optical fiber. The second optical fiber is operatively coupled to the elongate body and has a second strain sensor provided on the second optical fiber. The controller is operatively coupled to the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber and is adapted to receive a first signal from the first strain sensor and a second signal from the second strain sensor and to compare the first signal with the second signal.
