PROBE FOR DETERMINING MAGNETIC MARKER LOCATIONS |
| 摘要 |
A probe including a first sensor having a first magnetometer and a first accelerometer and a second sensor having a second magnetometer and a second accelerometer is configured for determining the distance and direction to a marker. The marker may be magnetic and may be surgically inserted into a patient's body to mark a specific location. The probe may be used to locate the marker, thus identifying the location. The probe may include a microprocessor that receives an output from the first sensor and an output from the second sensor and determines the distance and direction to the marker. |

1. A probe for detecting a magnetic marker, the probe comprising:
a first sensor including a first magnetometer and a first accelerometer located in a handheld housing; a second sensor including a second magnetometer and a second accelerometer, the second sensor located in the housing and separated from the first sensor; and a processor located in the housing and electrically connected to the first sensor and the second sensor, the processor configured to receive an output from the first sensor and an output from the second sensor and determine a distance and direction between one of the first sensor and the second sensor and a magnetic marker. |
