For tumor resection, surgeons need to localize the tumor. For this purpose, a magnetic seed can be inserted into the tumor by a radiologist and, during surgery, a magnetic detection probe informs the distance to the seed for localization. In this case, the surgeon still needs to mentally reconstruct the position of the tumor from the probe’s information. The purpose of this study is to develop and assess a method for 3D localization and visualization of the seed, facilitating the localization of the tumor.
