Abstract

A medical device position guidance system includes at least one reference transmitter, a receiver system comprising at least two sensors configured to receive signals from the at least one reference transmitter and move relative to the at least one reference transmitter, and a processor. The at least one reference transmitter is configured to maintain a fixed position relative to a subject. The at least two sensors are enclosed in a unitary receiver housing. The at least one reference transmitter and the receiver system are operatively coupled to the processor. The system also includes a memory device storing instructions which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive signals relating to a location and orientation of the receiver system relative to the at least one reference transmitter and using the received signals, create an anatomical coordinate system.
