The accurate magnetic localization and orientation technique has dramatically enhanced the applications of capsule endoscope for the gastrointestinal (GI) tract examination. Yet, the surgical robot has been hindered to use widely due to the limitations of current surgical navigation technique. In this paper, an electromagnetic navigation system based on coils and magnetic sensor is introduced. The...
To track the movement of a wireless capsule, a magnetic localization and orientation system is designed. In this system, a permanent magnet is enclosed in the capsule, which generates a magnetic field around. With the magnetic sensor array arranged out of the human body, we can measure the magnet's magnetic signals, and compute the capsule's 3D localization and 2D orientation parameters by applying...
A permanent magnet is embedded in the capsule endoscope to perform as an excitation source for tracking capsule's position and orientation, and a magnetic sensor array is built around the capsule to capture the signals from magnet. However, the magnet-field signal is weak and attenuates dramatically when the spatial distance between the magnet and the sensor increases. How to detect this weak magnetic...
