Magnetic determination of position and orientation
TL;DR: In this article, a magnetic position and orientation determining system using magnetic fields, desirably comprising uniform fields from Helmholtz coils (34, 36, 38) positioned on opposite sides of a sensing volume and gradient fields generated by the same coils, is presented.
Patent
Independently positionable transducers for location system
TL;DR: In this article, a system for determining the disposition of a probe within the body of a patient includes a probe (20) having probe field transducers (30) and a plurality of reference field Transducers (100A)-(100C).

TL;DR: In this article, a cardiac ablation device is used to treat atrial fibrillation by directing and focusing ultrasonic waves into a ring-like ablation region, which can be steered and positioned without reference to engagement between the device and the pulmonary vein or ostium.
Patent
Ablation devices with sensor structures
TL;DR: In this paper, a cardiac ablation device, including a steerable catheter and an expandable ablation element, incorporating one or more balloons (20, 22) at the distal end of the catheter, has a continuous passageway (28, 30) extending through it from the proximal end of a catheter to distal side of the expandable element, and a probe (72) carrying electrodes is introduced through this passagway and deploys, under the influence of its own resilience, to a structure incorporating a loop (82) which is automatically aligned
Patent
Miniature circular mapping catheter
TL;DR: In this paper, a cardiac ablation device, including a catheter and an expandable ablation element incorporating one or more balloons at the distal end of the catheter, has a continuous passageway extending through it.
