Electromagnetic Navigation System
Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) is a navigational technology which provides precise real-time tracking of sensors in a volume. Our proprietary DeepTrack electromagnetic tracking system provides tracking of sensors in both five degrees-of-freedom (5DOF) and six degrees-of-freedom (6DOF). Tracking sensors can be embedded within medical tools and instruments allowing them to be tracked in clinical scenarios. Electromagnetic tracking does not require line-of-sight for operation which enables effective tracking and visualisation of instruments during image-guided interventions.
Components
Quadrant Electromagnetic Navigation System consists of embedded software and hardware components. The system comprises of:
- A Field Generator (FG) that establishes an electromagnetic field in which sensors and tools can be tracked.
- A Base Control Unit (BCU) that controls the operation of the Electromagnetic Navigation System and executes the tracking software. The on-board computer calculates the sensor positions and orientations and send data to the user visualisation software.
- Sensors: two types of electromagnetic sensors that may be integrated within tools and instruments. Each sensor detects the field from the Field Generator and transmits this to the Base Control Unit as an induced voltage.

Disclaimer
Quadrant Scientific navigation systems and tracking products are general metrology components that can be integrated into third party products, research experiments, or medical devices. The third party acquiring our system will be responsible to assign the specific intended use to their products and to identify the relevant risk classification of the final product incorporating Quadrant’s navigation system. The third party will be responsible for establishing the relevant regulatory, testing, verification and validation requirements and activities to prove safety and performance of the final product incorporating Quadrant’s technology. The third party remains responsible for any system-level testing and certification.
