Abstract

Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) in high dose rate Brachytherapy has to face a number of signal processing challenges which we summarize in this study. We propose a coherent signal processing chain which encompasses a particle filter tracking of the state space trajectory of the sensors inside catheters implanted surgically into the breast of female patients. Singular spectrum analysis is employed ...
