Abstract
A wireless localization system including an exciter coil, a sensor coil, a surgical tool including a head defining a longitudinal axis, and a first wireless tag coupled to the head at a first position along the longitudinal axis. The first wireless tag is configured to generate a first signal in response to a magnetic field generated by the exciter coil. The wireless localization system further includes a second wireless tag coupled to the head at a second position along the longitudinal axis, the second position is spaced from the first position. The second wireless tag is configured to generate a second signal in response to the magnetic field generated by the excited coil. The wireless localization system further includes a processor that determines the location of the head based on the first signal and the second signal detected by the sensor coil.
