  • Method and device for navigating an object in a body to an aneurysm
    Publication number: 20050020908
    Abstract: A method for navigating an object in a body to an aneurysm can include ascertaining a course of blood vessels within the body using angiography and ascertaining a spatial position of the object using a magnetic field sensor or magnet connected to the object. The relative position of the object within the blood vessels can be ascertained based on the spatial position of the object and ascertaining a position of the body using a reference magnetic field sensor or magnet connected to the body.
