Abstract:We present a data-assimilation Bayesian framework in the context of laser ablation for the treatment of cancer. For solving the nonlinear estimation of the tissue temperature evolving during the therapy, the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) predicts the next thermal status and controls the ablation process, based on sparse temperature information. The purpose of this paper is to study the outcome of the prediction model based on UKF and to assess the influence of different model settings on the framework performa… Show more
