Estimation of surgical tool-tip tracking error distribution in coordinate reference frame involving pivot calibration uncertainty

Estimation of surgical tool-tip tracking error distribution in coordinate reference frame involving pivot calibration uncertainty

Accurate understanding of surgical tool-tip tracking error is important for decision making in image-guided surgery. In this Letter, the authors present a novel method to estimate/model surgical tool-tip tracking error in which they take pivot calibration uncertainty into consideration. First, a new...
