Product Details
Principle of Operation
- A sensor is integrated in the tip of a flexible or rigid object (e.g. needle, catheter, probe, guidewire)
- This object must be within the system’s measurement range so that the system can accurately detect its 3D position and orientation.
- The system transmits the position and orientation data to the application software, which processes it according to the application requirement, e.g. for visualization
Benefits
- No radiation exposure because magnetic filed technology poses no health risks
- Real-time 3D measurement (position and orientation)
- Extremely small sensors (e.g. 0.45 mm x 6.4 mm)
- No visual contact to the sensor in the object necessary
- The human body does not influence the measurement result
Our customers’ fields of application for electromagnetic measurement systems
Interventional Imaging
Finally the fusion of ultrasound images with pre-operative CT or MRT images is possible. The real-time position determination of the ultrasound probe opens up new options in ultrasound imaging.
Interventional Oncology
3D positioning of medical tools such as biopsy needles or ablation catheters based on the ultrasound image, determining the ideal route to the organ.
Pulmonology
Reaching the organ directly and quickly: by position determination of the tip of a bronchoscope or a pulmonary catheter in the lung with reference to a CT image.
ENT Surgery
Preventing perforation of the skull base and injury of the optic nerve: by position determination of ENT tools during endoscopic sinus operations.
Electrophysiology / Cardiology
Effectively preventing cardiac fibrillation: thanks to position determination of electromagnetic ablation catheters.
Other fields of application
Training future doctors: by position determination of medical instruments during simulated operations.
