    Abstract: A measurement circuit for measuring a property in a body comprises: a resonant circuit comprising a first element and a second element, where in at least one of the first element and the second element is configured such that a property thereof is dependent on the property in the body; and a non-linear element arranged to generate intermodulation products when the circuit is driven by an input signal comprising a first component at a first frequency and a second component at a second frequency. A measurement system for measuring a property in a body comprises: a measurement circuit as described above; a driving circuit for providing a driving signal to the measurement circuit, wherein the driving signal comprises a first component at a first frequency and a second component at a second frequency; and an analyzer circuit for analyzing a response of the measurement circuit in order to obtain a measurement of the property.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for tracking a position of an interventional device respective an image plane of an ultrasound field. The position includes an out-of-plane distance (Dop). A geometry-providing unit (GPU) includes a plurality of transducer-to-distal-end lengths (Ltde1 . . . n), each length corresponding to a predetermined distance (Ltde) between a distal end of an interventional device and an ultrasound detector attached to the interventional device, for each of a plurality of interventional device types (T1 . . . n). An image fusion unit (IFU) receives data indicative of the type (T) of the interventional device being tracked; and based on the type (T): selects from the geometry-providing unit (GPU), a corresponding transducer-to-distal-end length (Ltde); and indicates in a reconstructed ultrasound image (RUI) both the out-of-plane distance (Dop) and the transducer-to-distal-end length (Ltde) for the interventional device within the ultrasound field.
