Abstract
A system with integrated tracking includes a procedure-specific hardware component (or) disposed at or near a region of interest. A field generator () is configured to generate a field with a field of view covering the region of interest. A mounting device () is connected to the field generator and is coupled to the procedure-specific hardware. The field generator is fixedly positioned by the mounting device to permit workflow access to the region of interest without interfering with the field generator and to provide a known position of the field generator relative to the region of interest. A tracking device () is configured to be inserted in or near the region of interest to be tracked within the field of view of the field generator to generate tracking data.
