Abstract

PURPOSE: Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) can potentially complement fluoroscopic navigation, reducing radiation exposure in a hybrid setting. Due to the susceptibility to external distortions, systematic error in EMT needs to be compensated algorithmically. Compensation algorithms for EMT in guidewire procedures are only practical in an online setting.
