1. A catheter procedure system comprising:
a base;
a cassette operatively coupled to the base;
a flexible track having a distal end and a proximal end, the flexible track secured to the cassette;
a position detector configured to determine the position of the distal end of the flexible track relative to the cassette, and
a controller configured to control movement of the cassette relative to the base based on the position of the distal end of the flexible track relative to the cassette.
