These positions from the EMTS are used to calculate the compensation by comparing the EMTS positions to the baseline truth image positions. If there is a source of metal distortion, the position of one or more of the active fiducial markers 14 will be distorted, or incorrect.
  • fiducial markers 14 with a single sensor orientation such as tangential to the skin result in relatively poor registrations, mainly because ultimately the tracked medical instrument such as a needle is inserted normal to the skin surface, and thus the sensor is normal to the surface of the skin.

The selected array or sensors are then used to calculate the distortion correction.
  • the active fiducial markers 14 can be placed around the patient's body without precision, that is, a priori location is not needed, because the markers 14 only need to be identifiable in the medical image for a baseline position used to calculate the compensations.

  • the effects of respiratory motion can be eliminated. If the active fiducial markers 14 are in constant motion due to respiration, this affects the ability to calculate compensations. If respiratory motion can be estimated, then the active fiducial markers 14 may be placed directly on the patient's skin. Position readings from the active fiducial markers 14 would have to coincide with the inspiration level during the acquisition of the image. This can be accomplished through a gating procedure if the patient is on a respirator, or a bellows device could be used. Alternatively, an internal active fiducial marker, or similar marker could be used to estimate the respiratory state using the EMTS or similar tracking system.

  • This step is optional because the transformation between the two spaces can be calculated using the active fiducial markers 14 during the compensation calculation. However, performing this step provides a baseline transformation between the image and EM tracking spaces in the event that the calculation of the EM compensation fails.

  • the locations of the active fiducial markers 14 are then identified in the image space (see Figure 6).

  • the orientation of the tracked medical instrument 16 is not fixed, because it changes dynamically as the medical instrument 16 is repositioned.

  • the sensors with the closest proximity to the medical instrument 16 can be selected, or the selection may be based on the geometric position of the sensors to the medical instrument 16. As the orientation of the tracked medical instrument s) 16 changes, the appropriate sensors can be selected dynamically to calculate the compensation.
  • a minimum number of sensors must be used to calculate the correction, although the actual minimum number will depend on the method used to perform the calculation.
  • the selection of the sensors that are used for the calculation may be used to determine the compensation method employed for the correction. For example, if only a few sensors meet the selection criteria, the compensation might be implemented by a global affine transformation. However, if a sufficient number of sensors are selected with the appropriate geometrical coverage, an interpolation approach may be used. In some arrangements, when the orientation of the tracked medical device does not correspond exactly to the orientation of a minimum number of active fiducial sensors, an interpolation can be calculated from the sensors most closely matching in orientation.
  • the speed or frequency of the compensation is only limited by two events, acquiring the position readings from the active fiducial markers 14, and the calculation of the compensation. Depending on the number of active fiducial markers used, the speed of the EMTS, and the compensation algorithm used, one compensation can be done in fractions of a second. True continuous real-time compensation may or may not be necessary in a clinical environment.
  • One approach to sensor selection for use in the compensation calculation is to use a plurality of arrays of sensors where each array contains a number of sensors of substantially the same orientation, or which are closest in proximity to the medical instrument 16. Based on the orientation of the tracked medical instrument 16, the appropriate array of sensors is selected to calculate the compensation. The selection can be done via software identification of the appropriate array, or by a hardware multiplexer / selector. Each individual array of sensors has its sensors spaced appropriately around the target site.
  • a second approach is to use a number of individual sensors (not grouped into arrays) with different orientations. Based on the orientation of the tracked medical instrument 16, the sensors having orientations closest to the orientation of the tracked medical instrument 16 are selected to calculate the compensation. Selection would most likely be done via software identification of the appropriate sensors.
  • FIG. 8 An example simplified illustration of a sensor arrangement is given in Figure 8 with groups of sensors 26 in three different orientations (the sensors are represented by lines indicative of their orientation).
