    摘要: A device and a method for guiding or applying force to a magnetic implant within the body of a patient. The device includes a bed for support of the patient, a set of separately energizable electromagnets or separately controllable permanent magnets so arranged to produce magnetic fields of varying orientations in a treatment region of the patient, and a processor that controls the currents in the electromagnets, or shutters on the permanent magnets to produce a selected magnetic field and/or gradient for guiding or moving the implant. The magnets are configured to allow a medical imaging device to be used to provide a real-time display of an operating procedure in which magnetic guidance is used. The method for guiding the implant includes the placing of the body on the bed, which may be servo-controlled, inserting a magnetically-guided implant into the treatment region, arranging the magnets around the body so that they can supply the necessary magnetic fields and/or gradients through appropriate energization of subsets of the magnets, and applying current or shutter control to subsets of the magnets to provide a guiding magnetic field for the implant, which may occur while real-time medical imaging of the procedure is occurring. The bed may be moved under servo control to provide further control of the direction and magnitude of the magnetic field affecting the implant.

    摘要: An articulated magnet assembly optionally includes one or two additional fixed magnets to guide or move such as by pulling or pushing a magnetic structure in the body. The magnetic structure may be a magnetic tip of a catheter or a magnetic seed, or other such magnetic assembly, implant or device. The device is arranged to facilitate biplanar, real-time, X-ray imaging of the patient. The moved magnet can be a large, strong permanent magnet or a cored solenoid. The added, fixed electromagnets may have either normally conducting or superconducting coils. The magnet on the articulated magnet assembly can move radially, along a polar direction, and at an azimuthal angle, and may also pivot in place to direct an opposite pole of the magnet in the direction of the patient. Magnetically-assisted surgery can be performed, in some instances, by pivoting the magnet on one or two axes without withdrawing it from the vicinity of the patient to control the direction and/or orientation of a temporarily or permanently implanted magnetic surgical device. If the magnet is an electromagnetic coil, this pivoting may or may not have to be accompanied by a ramping of current in the coil.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for locating a magnetic implant in a surgical application using the field of a source magnet for the implant guiding field. The source magnet is an electromagnet having a separate calibrated magnetic field component in addition to the guiding field, so that both the magnitude and orientation of the magnetic field as a function of position around the magnet are known. A magnetic implant is provided with a sensor, such as a three-axis Hall effect sensor, to provide an indication of the magnitude and orientation of an applied magnetic field when the implant is surgically implanted in a patient. After implantation, the source magnet is energized with a current having a modulated component. The modulated component is received and filtered from the signal received from the Hall effect sensor in the implant, and provided to a processor that computes the location of the implant.
