Abstract
Described is a system and/or method for displaying the location of a ferromagnetic object in a living organism by using a surgical probe. The surgical probe has a shaft with three-dimensional magnetoresistance sensors located on a distal end configured for insertion into the living organism and three-dimensional magnetoresistance sensors located on a proximal end that stays outside of the living organism. The system comprises a display configured to show the relative location of a detected ferromagnetic object to the tip of the probe in a simulated three-dimensional view on a two-dimensional display.
