System and method for the in vivo position - and determining the orientation of an endoscopy - capsule or endo-robot, in the context of a wireless endoscopy

摘要

The present invention relates to a system for the in vivo position - and determining the orientation of an endoscopy - capsule (1) in the context of a wireless endoscopy, comprising- a magnetic field - generator (12) for generating an electromagnetic hf - 3 - d - gradient field in the area to be investigated,- an endoscopy - capsule (1) with an integrated receiver unit (20) for determining the respective current position - and orientation of specific hf - 3 - d - gradient field value of the endoscopy - capsule (1),- a navigation - unit (15) to the spatial association of the actual hf - 3 - d - gradient field - value and- a visualization - unit (8) for the representation of the in a defined position and orientation of recorded anatomical images on a screen.
