A novel calibration phantom for combining echocardiography with electromagnetic tracking

Ultrasound compounding techniques offer the possibility to enlarge the otherwise limited field of view of ultrasound. However, existing works mainly rely on larger ultrasound sensors. In this work, we attach electromagnetic (EM) tracking sensors to small tubular echo probes, namely an intracardiac e...
