Patent Summary
A magnetic seed localization system for breast cancer treatments that enables precise localization of implantable magnetic seeds through an integrated magnetic sensor array. The system employs a multi-sensor probe with spatially distributed magnetic field detectors to accurately determine seed positions. The detectors account for the complex geometry of magnetic field distributions in the tissue environment, enabling precise localization of implantable magnetic seeds for breast cancer treatments.
