About
Guy Shechter is a researcher whose work centers on the critical intersection of medical imaging and interventional guidance, specifically focusing on the accuracy and reliability of electromagnetic (EM) tracking systems within computed tomography (CT) environments. His major contributions lie in the rigorous quantification of how the CT scanner environment—with its metallic components and electromagnetic interference—degrades the positional accuracy of AC EM tracking systems, such as the NDI Aurora. In his most cited work (2007, 8 citations), Shechter used a three-axis positioning robot to systematically measure these effects, establishing a foundational methodology for error characterization. He further advanced this understanding in a subsequent study (2008, 4 citations) by examining how sensor orientation independently impacts tracking fidelity, revealing that accuracy is not uniform across all positions and angles. This detailed, empirical approach provides essential data for developers and clinicians seeking to integrate EM tracking into CT-guided procedures, such as biopsies and needle placements. Shechter’s work is notable for its methodical rigor, directly addressing a practical barrier to the safe and effective use of hybrid imaging-guidance systems.
