==MARKER DEVICE AND MARKER DEVICE TRACKING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18038847 titled 'MARKER DEVICE AND MARKER DEVICE TRACKING

**Simplified Explanation:**
The patent application describes a marker device that can be tracked by a reading system to accurately determine the position of a medical device. This is achieved by using a magnetic field generated by the movement of magnetic objects in a foam-like medium, which is oscillated by an externally applied excitation field.

**Key Features and Innovation:**
- Marker device for tracking position of medical devices
- Magnetic field generated by movement of magnetic objects in foam-like medium
- Oscillation of foam-like medium using an externally applied excitation field
- Detection of magnetic field change to determine position of marker device

**Potential Applications:**
- Medical device tracking in surgical procedures
- Navigation systems for medical devices
- Monitoring tools for medical implants

**Problems Solved:**
- Accurate tracking of medical devices
- Improved positioning during surgical procedures
- Enhanced monitoring of medical implants

**Benefits:**
- Increased accuracy in medical device tracking
- Improved patient outcomes in surgical procedures
- Enhanced safety and efficiency in medical device monitoring

**Commercial Applications:**
Potential commercial applications include medical device tracking systems for hospitals, surgical navigation tools for healthcare facilities, and monitoring devices for medical implants in clinics.

**Questions about Marker Device Tracking:**
1. How does the marker device interact with the reading system to track the position of medical devices?
2. What are the advantages of using a magnetic field generated by magnetic objects in a foam-like medium for tracking purposes?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A marker device to be tracked by a respective reading system is provided. which allows to track a position of a medical device with high accuracy using a magnetic field that is generated through movement of a plurality of magnetic objects in a foam-like medium. For this purpose, the foam-like medium is caused to oscillate using an externally applied excitation field. in particular an ultrasound excitation field. The movement of the plurality of magnetic objects causes a change in the magnetic field caused by the magnetic objects. This change may be detected by a respective magnetic response detector and used to determine the position of the marker device and. hence. the medical device.
