Navigated Implantation of Radiation Therapy Markers
Development of a system for marker implementation during cancer surgeries.
In the context of cancer research, a computer-assisted system should enable the precise and simple implantation of radiation therapy markers. It was intended to be used during an open intervention with ultrasound imaging.
