The phantom included a tumor in the esophagus and several pairs of optically visible points inside the lumen that were used to simulate proximal and distal ends of tumors of varying lengths. The esophagus tumor and lung points were visible on a computed tomography (CT) image of the phantom, which was used as ground truth for the measurements. The EM tracking system was registered to the CT image using fiducial markers. A flexible endoscope was tracked using the EM system and the locations of the proximal and distal ends of the tumor identified and this position recorded. An EM\u2010tracked applicator was then inserted and positioned relative to the tumor markings. The applicator path was mapped using the EM tracking. The gross tumor length (GTL) and the distance between the first dwell position and distal edge of tumor (offset) were measured using the EM tracking and 2D fluoroscopy methods and compared to the same measurements on the CT image.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The errors in GTL using EM tracking were on average \u22120.5\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.7\u00a0mm and 0.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03.6\u00a0mm for esophagus and lung measurements, similar to errors measured using the 2D fluoroscopy method of \u22120.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.2\u00a0mm and 3.4\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04.4\u00a0mm.

Tracking of the endoscope that is used to identify the proximal and distal ends of the tumor and of the applicator during insertion generates accurate three\u2010dimensional measurements of the applicator path, GTL and offset. Guiding the placement of intraluminal applicators using EM navigation is potentially attractive for cases with complex insertions, such as those with nonlinear paths or multiple applicator insertions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/mp.13997","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,28]],"date-time":"2019-12-28T13:42:31Z","timestamp":1577540551000},"page":"917-926","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Feasibility
