1. A medical instrument, comprising:
- a body (202);
a shape sensing system (204) coupled to the body to permit determination of a shape of the body;
a memory element (206) coupled to the body and configured to store data associated with calibration of the body, the data being readable from the memory element through a cable (210) connectable to the body so that the data permits calibration of the body.

Abstract
A medical instrument, system and method for calibration are provided. The instrument includes a body (202) and a shape sensing system (204) coupled to the body to permit determination of a shape of the body. A memory element (205, 206) is coupled to the body and configured to store data associated with calibration of the body, the data being readable through a cable (210) connectable to the body so that the data permits calibration of the body.
