Abstract
In one embodiment, a catheter locator apparatus is configured to determine the location of the tip of a catheter as it is inserted used in a human body. In one example embodiment, where a radiating coil is used in conjunction with a catheter, a coil locating device can be used to determine the distance the coil is from the device and hence its depth in the body of a patient.
