We show that it is generally feasible to derive the contact forces directly from the intraoperative fluoroscopy imaging system which can make the costly integration of additional sensors into catheters and guidewires dispensable. Our study is limited to stationary normal loading and planar deflections. In our loading scenario of crossing the carotid siphon with a guidewire, the magnitude of contact forces can be detected up to an average deviation of 4.5 % for an imagebased pose measurement accuracy of the guidewire of 1 mm.enendovascularflexible instrumentsforce from shapeforce sensingjournal article
