TOWERS: T-One with Enhanced Robustness and Speed.

abstract：:In active catheter tracking, small RF coils are attached to the catheter for localization. For interactive catheter steering at vessel branchings, it is necessary to visualize not only a single point near the catheter tip but also the entire shape and orientation of the catheter's distal end. Therefore, a 35-mm-long t...
