    摘要: A medical network system is communicatively coupled with a number medical device tracking systems that utilize magnetic systems to track elongate medical devices along anatomical pathways within patients having differing physical attributes, such as height and weight. The medical network system collects tracking records from the medical device tracking systems and applies machine learning and/or artificial intelligence technics to the tracking record data to correlate recorded anatomical pathways with the differing physical attributes. The medical network system receives a patient value set of physical attributes for a specific patient from a medical device tracking system and provides a predicted anatomical pathway based on the correlation and the patient value set. The medical device tracking systems tracts the elongate medical device with respect to the predicted anatomical pathway during placement. The medical device tracking systems may also utilize fiber optic shape sensing systems to track the placement of elongate medical.

    摘要: 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.
