Title:
POSITION DETECTION APPARATUS AND POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/141499
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a position detection apparatus which detects the position of a medical device that generates a magnetic field for position detection which has been introduced inside a subject, the position detection apparatus including: a guiding magnetic field generating unit that generates a guiding magnetic field for guiding the medical device; and a magnetic field detection unit which detects the magnetic field for position detection and which is arranged in a region excluding a detection space, which is the space in which the position of the medical device is detected, and a region extending toward the guiding magnetic field generating unit from the detection space. Thus, the position detection device allows the guiding magnetic field generating unit to be disposed near the subject.
