Accurate and robust localization of medical devices can provide valuable information to improve clinical workflow and to facilitate the operations in image guided interventions. In this talk, I will discuss existing methods for tracking devices in interventions. I will then talk about our activities in this area which uses machine-learning based approaches for device detection and tracking. Several high impact applications would be discussed with quantitative validation results.
