Abstract
Provided is a magnetic actuation system controlling a magnetic microrobot, a magnetic actuation catheter, or a guide wire by using a magnetic field, and more particularly, a magnetic actuation system compatible with a C-arm that is applied to the C-arm, which is a mobile X-ray fluoroscopy device, in order to enable control of the microrobot or a catheter treatment in a human body by using the C-arm.
Claims13
A magnetic actuation system compatible with a C-arm that is positioned on the C-arm including a C-shaped arc body, a receiver positioned at one end of the arc body, a transmitter positioned at the other end of the arc body, and a treatment space positioned between the receiver and the transmitter, the system comprising:
- an electromagnet unit including a combination of one or more electromagnets and positioned between the transmitter and treatment space of the C-arm;
- and
- a power supply unit supplying a current to the electromagnet unit,
- wherein the electromagnet unit is disposed below the treatment space by generating a magnetic field or a magnetic force through the current supplied from the power supply unit, and
- actuates a magnetic robot, a magnetic actuation catheter, or a guide wire, including a magnetic body, in the wireless manner.
