�Ascension Technology Corporation has shrunk the dimensions of its 3D Guidance medSAFE magnetic detector without sacrificing tracking parameters. The outer diameter of its new sensor is 0.90 mm (0.035 inch), small sufficiency to comfortably fit the hollow pipe of a 19-gauge biopsy needle.
The new detector passively senses pulsed DC magnetic william Claude Dukenfield generated by either a cubic sender or
a flat vector and is available for easy integration and manufacturability by medical OEMs. Its first
manipulation is fast, accurate, and unobtrusive tracking of the distal tip of a needle deployed for piano tissue
treatment.
The execution of the new detector is unmoved by occlusions, composite materials, or the presence
of common hospital metals, such as stainless steel (three hundred series), ti, and atomic number 13. When secondhand
with Ascension's flat transmitter, it overcomes the distorting effects of underlying ferric steel
structures, contained in procedural tables and gurneys.
Before the introduction of Ascension's detector, the miniaturization of magnetic sensors typically resulted
in the loss of tracking of an instrument's pluck angle. The new sensing element cures that limitation piece allowing
navigation and
