Navigation device for patient, has magnetic field generating device with coil arrangement that accommodates patient in opening and is swivellable around axes relative to patient, where axes are orthogonal to each other

摘要

The device (1) has a magnetic field generating device for generating magnetic fields to move a medical instrument e.g. catheter. A unit that interacts with the magnetic field is arranged in an area of a cone point. The magnetic field generating device has a coil arrangement (2) that accommodates a patient (6) in an opening. The coil arrangement is swivellable around axes relative to the patient, where the axes are orthogonal to each other.
