TRACKING SYSTEM AND MARKER DEVICE TO BE TRACKED BY THE TRACKING SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A61B5/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: system for tracking a marker device attached to a medical device, wherein the marker device contains a sensitive unit containing a magnetic object that can be excited by an external magnetic or electromagnetic field of excitation into a mechanical vibration of a magnetic object, and the tracking system contains a field generator for generating a given magnetic or electromagnetic field for inducing mechanical oscillations of the magnetic object, a transducer for converting the magnetic or electromagnetic field generated by the induced mechanical oscillations of the magnetic object into one or more electrical response signals, and a position determination unit for determining the position of the marker device based on one or more electrical response signals.

EFFECT: possibility to accurately indicate the position of a medical device for use during a surgical operation on a person, in particular on a patient on whom a minimally invasive procedure of is performed.
