electromagnetic wave emission and detection module

Leveraging over 30 years of expertise in medical guidance technology, the trakSTAR and driveBAY provide highly accurate, real-time 3D position and orientation tracking in six degrees of freedom (6DOF). Both systems can simultaneously track up to four (4) reusable 6DOF electromagnetic tools, in a ready-to-use configuration that supports interchangeable sensor sizes.

Each system works in conjunction with a Mid-Range Transmitter (MRT) or Short-Range Transmitter (SRT) that generates the optimal tracking volume required for a diverse range of 3D medical navigation applications: ultrasound image fusion, biopsy needle guidance, oncology, and neurosurgery. A clear line of sight between the sensor and transmitter is not required.

The trakSTAR and driveBAY share the same reliability, versatility, and ease of use. Both systems have a small hardware footprint, require minimal cabling, and operate without the need for intermediate equipment (e.g. pre-amplifier) between the sensor and electronics unit. In terms of size, the trakSTAR is a desktop unit that connects directly into a main power source, while the driveBAY is designed to fit into a drive bay of your computer, using the computer’s power supply.
