Abstract

SISTEMA Y MÉTODO PARA DETERMINAR LA UBICACIÓN YORIENTACIÓN DE UN DISPOSITIVO MÉDICO PERMANENTE Un dispositivo para detectar la ubicación de un imán acoplado a un dispositivo médico permanente, inserto en un paciente, emplea tres o más conjuntos de sensores magnéticos, cada uno de los cuales posee elementos sensores dispuestos de una forma conocida. Cada elemento sensor detecta la fuerza del campo magnético generado por el imán y proporciona datos indicativos de la dirección del imán en un espacio tridimensional. El dispositivo emplea ecuaciones fundamentales para la electricidad y el magnetismo que relacionan la fuerza del campo magnético medida y la gradiente del campo magnético con la ubicación y la fuerza de un dipolo magnético. El dispositivo utiliza un proceso iterativo para determinar la ubicación y orientación reales del imán. Una estimación inicial de la ubicación y orientación del imán resulta en la generación de valores del campo magnético previstos. Los valores del campo magnético previstos se comparan con los valores medidos reales provistos por los sensores magnéticos. Sobre la base de la diferencia entre los valores previstos y los valores medidos, el dispositivo calcula una nueva ubicación del imán y calcula nuevos valores de la fuerza del campo magnético previstos. Este proceso de iteración continúa hasta que los valores previstos coinciden con los valores medidos, dentro de un grado deseado de tolerancia. En ese punto, la ubicación estimada coincide con la ubicación real dentro de un grado predeterminado de tolerancia. Un visor bidimensional provee una indicación de la ubicación del imán con respecto a la cubierta del detector. Puede emplearse una parte del visor indicadora de la profundidad para brindar una indicación absoluta o relativa de la profundidad a la que se encuentra el imán en el cuerpo del paciente.SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE LOCATION AND ORIENTATION OF A PERMANENT MEDICAL DEVICE A device to detect the location of a magnet coupled to a permanent medical device, inserted in a patient, employs three or more sets of magnetic sensors, each of which has elements sensors arranged in a known way. Each sensor element detects the strength of the magnetic field generated by the magnet and provides data indicative of the direction of the magnet in three-dimensional space. The device employs fundamental equations for electricity and magnetism that relate the measured magnetic field strength and the gradient of the magnetic field to the location and strength of a magnetic dipole. The device uses an iterative process to determine the actual location and orientation of the magnet. An initial estimate of the magnet's location and orientation results in the generation of predicted magnetic field values. The predicted magnetic field values are compared to the actual measured values provided by the magnetic sensors. Based on the difference between the predicted values and the measured values, the device calculates a new location for the magnet and calculates new predicted values for the strength of the magnetic field. This iteration process continues until the predicted values match the measured values, within a desired degree of tolerance. At that point, the estimated location matches the actual location within a predetermined degree of tolerance. A two-dimensional viewfinder provides an indication of the location of the magnet relative to the detector cover. A portion of the depth gauge can be used to provide an absolute or relative indication of how deep the magnet is in the patient's body.
