System for application of alternating magnetic fields to reduce infection

A system comprising:

• at least one alternating magnetic field (AMF) transmitter which includes a first coil and which is to apply AMF pulses to a first metallic implant via the first coil;
• at least one function generator;
• at least one processor;
• at least one input/output (I/O) port coupled to the at least one processor;
• and
• at least one machine-readable medium having stored thereon data which, if used by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• pattern match a first portion of a first image to a library of metallic implant images, wherein the first portion of the first image depicts the first metallic implant and a second portion of the first image depicts the first coil;
• determine a first orientation of the first and second portions of the first image with respect to one another, wherein the first orientation is based on:
• (a) a first distance between the first and second portions of the first image with respect to one another, and (b) a first direction between the first and second portions of the first image with respect to one another;
• select a first target orientation for the first metallic implant and the first coil with respect to one another from a library of target orientations between implants and coils;
• determine a first difference between the first orientation and the first target orientation;
• and
• output first reorientation instructions via the at least one I/O port in response to determining the first difference between the first orientation and the first target orientation.
