    摘要: The movement of a catheter through a medium, which may be living tissue such as a human brain, is controlled by mechanically pushing a flexible catheter having a magnetic tip through the medium and applying a magnetic field having a magnitude and a direction that guides the mechanically-pushed catheter tip stepwise along a desired path. The magnetic field is controlled in a Magnetic Stereotaxis System by a processor using an adaptation of a PID (proportional, integral, and derivative) feedback method. The magnetic fields are applied by superconducting coils, and the currents applied through the coils are selected to minimize a current metric.

    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 relative to the electromagnet based upon the detected magnitude and orientation of the modulated component of the magnetic field, and the location and orientation of the electromagnet. Localizers may be used to supply the relative locations of the patient and the electromagnet to the processor. A display may be provided to display a representation of the location of the implant in the patient, which may also be superimposed over a preoperative image of the patient.

    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.
