ABSTRACT
A novel system is described which images in three dimensions, the total configuration of a colonoscope without the use of conventional radiological techniques. A low intensity magnetic field is used in conjunction with a miniature inductive sensor. The system intrinsically safe and it is potentially inexpensive and capable of being used in a normal hospital environment. Clinical trials are described in which the system is validated in terms of its suitability for the application. Magnetic and conventional X-ray images obtained ex vivo with the endoscope held in various configurations and comparisons in the patients confirm the practical applicability of the new system.
