Abstract
The invention relates to a medical sensor system () for detecting a feature () in a human or animal body (), including a signal pick-up unit (), which can be implanted in the animal and/or human body (), and a signal processing unit (), which is spatially separated from the signal pick-up unit () and which includes a transmitter () and a receiver (). The transmitter () emits an alternating magnetic field () to act on the signal pick-up unit (), and the receiver () receives a response signal () of the signal pick-up unit (), which is generated by the magnetic interaction of the alternating magnetic field () with the signal pick-up unit ().
