Northern Digital Inc. (NDI) products

Aurora electromagnetic 5DOF and 6DOF sensors can be embedded into OEM medical instruments such as catheters, endoscopes, and ultrasound probes. One of our sensors measures just 0.3 mm in diameter—the smallest on the market—for integration into a guidewire or at the tip of a needle. The embedded EM sensor is what allows the OEM medical instrument to be localized and visualized as it’s navigated against patient imaging during in-vivo procedures. No line of sight to the sensor is required.

Aurora ready-to-use tools include everything required to begin tracking right out of the box. Designed with speed and ease of integration and use in mind, these tools are an excellent introduction to the Aurora electromagnetic tracking solution during research applications and the exploratory phase of OEM research and development. No assembly, configuration, or calibration are required. (Note: Aurora ready-to-use tools are not intended for medical use.)
