title: Wearable electromagnetic apparatus for endoscope localization.
abstract: Endoscope localization is important as it provides location information for disease diagnosis and treatment. Here, we describe a simple and highly accurate electromagnetic method for endoscope localization. The system includes an emitter circuit, a receiver circuit, and a signal acquisition and processing circuit. A new receiver apparatus was designed to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of localization. A virtual colon imaging method is also presented.
