Abstract: A method for detecting and correcting for magnetic field distortions within a magnetic field used for medical magnetic localization systems may include a first set of one or more signals is indicative of the magnetic field sensed by each of the sensor coils within the metal distortion detection fixture at a first time received from the metal distortion detection fixture. A first magnitude value of the combined signals is determined. A second set of one or more signals is indicative of the magnetic field sensed by each of the sensor coils at a second time is received and a second magnitude value of the combined signals is determined. A magnetic shift in the magnetic field between the first and second magnitude values is determined. The magnetic shift is compared to a threshold shift amount indicative of a magnetic distortion in the magnetic field.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems, apparatuses, and methods for detecting and correcting for magnetic field distortions within a magnetic field used for medical magnetic localization systems.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for visualizing the motion box of an electromagnetic sensor tracking system on a display that can be viewed by the physician are disclosed. Electromagnetic sensor tracking systems are able to determine the position and orientation (P&O) of the sensors being tracked only when the sensors are within the motion box, or the spatial region located in proximity to the electromagnetic field generators of the system. During usage of the electromagnetic sensor tracking system, the sensor can go out of this spatial region and, when this occurs, navigating it back into the motion box can be difficult. The methods, systems, and apparatuses described herein provide for the representation of sensors, the motion box, and a representation of a thorax on a display so that the clinician can view the position and orientation of the sensors with respect to the motion box.
