POSITION TRACKING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18256710 titled 'POSITION TRACKING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a signal tracking system that includes a fixation element, a tracker element, and a control unit to track and locate a target body part in real-time.
- Fixation element with mapping element to be secured to a rigid body part of the patient surrounding the target body part.
- Tracker element secured to the fixation element to track the internal tracker in real-time.
- Control unit with memory to store an internal referential and an image displaying the target body part and fixation element.
- Control unit defines 3D frame positions attached to the fixation element and precisely locates each point of the target body part.
- Control unit further localizes the internal tracker inside the target body part in real-time.

Original Abstract Submitted
A signal tracking system including: one fixation element to be secured to a rigid body part of the patient surrounding a target body part, the fixation element further including a mapping element, one tracker element to be secured to the fixation element to track, in real time, the internal tracker, and a control unit including a memory to store an internal referential and one image displaying the target body part and one fixation element. The control unit is designed to define, inside the internal referential, at least one 3D frame position attached to the at least one fixation element, and to precisely locate each point of the target body part, the control unit is further designed to precisely localize, in real time, the internal tracker inside the target body part.
