摘要：
A system (10, 110) for identifying a landmark is disclosed. The system includesa field generator (16, 116) for generating a magnetic field, an orthopaedic implant(30, 130) located within the magnetic field, the implant having at least one landmark(31) and a first magnetic sensor (32) spaced apart from the landmark, a landmarkidentifier (18, 118) with a second magnetic sensor (20, 120) and a processor (12,112) for comparing sensor data from the first and second sensor and using the setdistance to calculate the position of the landmark identifier relative to theat least one landmark. The system allows for blind targeting of one or more landmarks.
