Abstract
A system and method for indirectly monitoring the position of a target inside a body is disclosed. The method includes generating position data associated with one or more surrogate devices and predicting a location of the target from the position data based on a target position model that establishes a relationship between an actual location of the target and the position data of the one or more surrogate devices. The method also includes determining that the predicted location of the target deviates from the actual location of the target when an analysis of an error prediction model results in a confidence threshold being exceeded.
