In this study, we developed a novel electromagnetic tracking system (EMT) based on quasi-static magnetic fields for accurate localization of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes during surgery. By leveraging miniaturized sensors and advanced field generators, our system enables millimetric spatial resolution and precise angular tracking, offering real-time guidance for neurosurgeons.The…
