Aurora - Electromagnetic (EM) Tracking System Brochure

The Aurora® electromagnetic (EM) tracking system provides real-time unobstructed tracking of miniaturized sensors embedded into surgical tools, probes, needles, guidewires, and catheters. The position and orientation of each sensor is tracked in five or six degrees of freedom (5DOF / 6DOF), both inside and outside the body. No line of sight is needed to maintain sub-millimetre, sub-degree tracking. A sensor can even be placed at the tip of a flexible instrument, extending the benefits of 3D localization and guidance to countless new medical procedures. The Aurora will simultaneously track up to sixteen (16) 5DOF or eight (8) 6DOF tools within an EM-generated tracking volume. Different Field Generators (FG) provide optimal tracking volumes for a variety of applications. The result is highly accurate and reliable EM tracking required by the most precise image-guided surgery and interventional applications in medicine.
