Abstract:

To meet the needs of 3D positioning of guide wire catheter in interventional surgery and the requirements of smaller size sensor for narrow cerebral vessels, a new electromagnetic positioning model is proposed with single coil receiver. Based on the electromagnetic theory and geometry principle, the electromagnetic field transmitter with groups of three orthogonal coils and the single coil receiver with smaller size than existing sensors are designed. Based on Biot-Savart Law, the distance between receiving end and geometric center of orthogonal coils is calculated, and spatial coordinate of receiving end is computed based on the spherical intersection formula. To further reduce the positioning error, a two-round accuracy improvement algorithm is designed for selecting the optimal topology of coil groups at the transmitter end and fitting correction of the calculated distance. Through experiments on multiphysical simulation platform of COMSOL Multiphysics and the example of cerebrovascular intervention, our new model is verified with positioning accuracy of 0.05 cm and frequency of 29 Hz, which provides a theoretical basis for the manufacture of small and precise electromagnetic positioning sensors.
