In abdominal surgery, laparoscopic ultrasound is widely used for minimally invasive procedures. Because of the missing visual feedback, it is often difficult for the surgeons to relate the ultrasound transducer to patient anatomy and images. Instrument tracking techniques for navigation and visualization can provide great benefits. Electromagnetic systems are the only currently available means to determine the pose of the transducer tip inside the patient, but the electromagnetic field can be distorted, leading to erroneous measurements. The author Tobias Reichl presents two new methods for...
