Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we developed a magnetic marker localization system using a super-low frequency signal (100 ~ 1 kHz) in order to realize a “metal-free” surgical navigation system. The performance of the system satisfied aimed specifications, e.g. measurement accuracy, area, speed. The efficiency of the proposed method was demonstrated by simulations and experiments even though a metal tool was present in the observation area.
