Abstract
A probe for generating position data for use in computer assisted surgery has a handle and a shaft extending from the handle. A tip having a distal end for contacting an object to indicate the position of the object is attached to the shaft. A sensor which can respond to external electromagnetic fields for generating position data with multiple degrees of freedom is located within the shaft towards the distal end of the shaft.
