Localization of Magnetic Catheter Tip Using an Array of Magnetic Sensors, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Nejat Pishkenari, Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery is highly valued mainly due to the reduction of the patient’s recovery period. Catheters are among the most important tools in minimally invasive surgeries. Catheter is a flexible tool that has the ability to pass through difficult paths. In common localization methods, fluoroscopy is used to determine the position of the catheter’s tip. One main disadvantage of this method is that it is very dangerous for therapists who are exposed to X-ray radiation for long periods of time. A magnetic catheter is created by adding a magnet to the end of the catheter. The possibility of guiding magnetic catheter by an external magnetic field, controlling the applied force and...
