Breathing-Induced Prostate Motion: Real-Time Data Show Second-Order Effects

An electromagnetic (ELM) system able to localize 3 transponders permanently implanted in the prostate with submillimeter accuracy is currently used in our department for continuous real-time tracking of the tumor. In the last year, we focused our attention on the development of a tool to selectively filter the signal produced by the transponders and to deconvolve it in its main components.
