Apparatus for performing a medical procedure on a tissue within a body of
a subject includes a wireless tag which is fixed to the tissue and
includes a first sensor coil. A second sensor coil is fixed to a medical
device for use in performing the procedure. An integral processing and
display unit includes a plurality of radiator coils, along with
processing circuitry and a display. The radiator coils generate
electromagnetic fields in a vicinity of the tissue, thereby causing
currents to flow in the sensor coils. The processing circuitry processes
the currents so as to determine coordinates of the tag relative to the
medical device. The display is driven by the processing circuitry so as
to present a visual indication to an operator of the medical device of an
orientation of the device relative to the tag.
