A system includes multiple electrically-conductive channels and a processor. The processor is configured to receive, over the electrically-conductive channels, (i) respective first electric currents from a probe, which is within a body of a patient, via a plurality of first electrodes, which are attached to skin of the patient at a region of the body, and (ii) a second electric current from the probe via a second electrode, which is attached to the skin and is connected to one of the channels. The processor is further configured to ascertain respective first electric-current values of the first electric currents and a second electric-current value of the second electric current, and to calculate a position of the probe between the region and the second electrode, based on the first electric-current values and the second electric-current value. Other embodiments are also described.

Extending the tracking volume in a probe tracking system

Apparatus for calibration includes a mount and one or more acoustic targets. The mount, which is adapted to hold a medical probe, includes an acoustic imaging device that emits ultrasonic beam in a plane, while permitting an orientation of the plane of the ultrasonic beam to be adjusted. The one or more acoustic targets are arranged to continuously intersect the plane of the ultrasonic beam over a given range of orientation angles.

Acoustic phantom and method for intracardiac ultrasound localization catheter

A method includes retrieving from a memory a stored sensitivity table that associates magnetic position sensor readings with measured magnetic fields. One or more calibration values for the magnetic position sensor are estimated during a catheterization procedure in which a magnetic position sensor, fitted at a distal end of a catheter, is placed in an organ of a patient, based on (i) the stored sensitivity table and (ii) readings acquired by the magnetic position sensor while in the organ. Based on the one or more calibration values, a location of the distal end in the organ is magnetically tracked.
