Apparatus and method for catheter guidance control and imaging

摘要: A system whereby a magnetic tip attached to surgical tool is detected, displayed and positioned. Virtual Tip serves as an operator control. Movement of the control produces corresponding movement inside patient's body. Additionally, provides tactile feedback operator's hand in appropriate axis or axes if encounters obstacle. The output combined with position orientation allows servo external field by pulse width modulating positioning electromagnet. Data concerning dynamic moving body part such beating heart offsets systems response way that tip, hence secondary caused move unison part.
