CATHETER WITH INTEGRATED SIGNAL-PROCESSING DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a catheter comprising a tube-like body with a distal and a proximal end, wherein on the distal end is placed at least one measuring element which is connected via a connecting line to a signal-processing device, wherein the signal-processing device is connected integrally to the tube-like body and comprises a connection for a detecting device. The invention also relates to an assembly of a catheter, comprising a radio-frequency source on the distal end of the catheter and a localizing device which comprises a plurality of receiving members and a connection for a detecting device, which receiving members are placed in a plane with a known relative position to each other and are suitable for receiving the signal from the radio-frequency source.
