This study introduces an electromagnetic tracking system for precise instrument placement in abdominal surgeries. The system offers accurate real-time image guidance, enhancing physician control during minimally invasive procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Navigation
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Electromagnetic tracking offers advantages over optical tracking for minimally invasive abdominal interventions due to its lack of line-of-sight limitations.
  • Miniaturized electromagnetic sensors enable integration into instrument tips, enhancing precision.
  • Accurate image-guided systems are crucial for complex abdominal interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a computer-aided, image-guided system utilizing electromagnetic tracking for abdominal interventions.
  • To present and validate novel registration techniques for accurate system calibration.
  • To address respiratory motion challenges in abdominal interventions through advanced compensation methods.

Main Methods:
