✨ Thrilled to share that our research has been featured on the front cover of the June issue of IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (TBME)!

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 system demonstrated:
🔹 Spatial accuracy of 1.72 mm
🔹 Angular accuracy of 0.89°
🔹 Real-time performance with a position update rate of 0.4 Hz

This approach holds strong potential not only for DBS but also for broader applications in functional neurosurgery, improving safety and outcomes through enhanced intraoperative feedback.

Grateful to our amazing team (Céline Vergne, Simone Hemm, Joris Pascal and Thomas Quirin) from the Institute of Medical Engineering and Medical Informatics at the FHNW School of Life Sciences in Muttenz, and collaborators (Morgan Madec: https://lnkd.in/eggrhTZt, Raphael Guzman: https://lnkd.in/eWBiPuy8) who made this possible.

Big thanks to IEEE TBME for the feature and to everyone contributing to innovations at the intersection of neuroscience, robotics, and medical imaging.
