Abstract: A method for detecting a marker in a body, comprising receiving an input signal from a probe, where the input signal is generated by a probe in response to detecting a marker signal from the marker; determining a marker proximity value based on the input signal, the marker proximity value corresponds to a distance between the probe and the marker; generating a feedback signal for output by a user interface device based on the marker proximity value, and outputting feedback signal, wherein range of the marker proximity value is divided into predetermined distance bands; and wherein at least one parameter of the feedback signal, or a rate of change of the at least one parameter of the feedback signal in relation to marker proximity value, is varied discontinuously at a boundary between at least two adjacent bands. The feedback signal may be an audio signal and/or a haptic signal.

Abstract: A system and method for locating magnetic material. In one embodiment the system includes a magnetic probe; a power module in electrical communication with the magnetic probe to supply current to the magnetic probe; a sense module in electrical communication with the magnetic probe to receive signals from the magnetic probe; and a computer in electrical communication with the power module and the sense module. The computer generates a waveform that controls the supply of current from the power module and receives a signal from the sense module that indicates the presence of magnetic material. The magnetic probe is constructed from a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion of substantially 10−6/° C. or less and a Young's modulus of substantially 50 GPa or greater. In one embodiment magnetic nanoparticles are injected into a breast and the lymph nodes collecting the particles are detected with the probe and deemed sentinel nodes.

Abstract: A probe and method for detecting magnetic particles. In one embodiment, the probe includes a probe core having a first end and a second end, the probe core defining two regions for containing coils of wire, one of the regions being adjacent the first end of the cylindrical probe core; two sense coils, one each of the sense coils being located in a respective one of the regions; and two drive coils, one each of the drive coils being located in a respective one of the regions, wherein the regions are separated by a distance equal to or greater than the diameter of one of the coils and a source of a secondary magnetic drive field. In another embodiment, the frequency of the drive signal of the secondary magnetic drive field is less than the frequency of the drive signal of the primary drive coils.
