Abstract:
To assess the accuracy of medical electromagnetic tracking systems, reference positioning systems are generally required. Errors are unavoidable in such systems, and despite how tiny they may be, prevent the ground truth from being known. In this work, a simulator was developed and used to analyze the theoretical system performances in electromagnetic tracking.
