DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING POSITION OF ELECTRODE INSERTED INTO HUMAN BODY

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/182895

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a device and method for detecting the position of an electrode inserted into a human body that predicts a path through a position sensor on a handle part before the electrode is inserted into the human body and displays the path in order to accurately place an electrode needle on a lesion through a position sensor on the electrode needle after the electrode is inserted into the human body during ultrasonic image diagnosis, computerized tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guide radio frequency ablation (RFA) operation in an electrode device for radio frequency ablation that cauterizes and necrotizes a site of a lesion, such as a tumor tissue of a body organ, etc., by heating the site of the lesion with high frequency. The device for detecting the position of an electrode inserted into a human body, according to the present invention, comprises: a position signal generator that generates a position signal; an electrode needle having an electrode-side position sensor provided in the interior of a lance needle thereof, wherein the electrode-side position sensor receives the position signal and generates first position information; and a handle that is connected to the electrode needle and has a handle-side position sensor included therein, wherein the handle-side position sensor receives the position signal and generates second position information.
